Rotterdam, 14 November 2024 – Filing taxes for cryptocurrency users will soon become easier than ever, thanks to a new partnership between Knaken, the leading Dutch cryptocurrency platform, and Divly, a prominent provider of crypto tax reporting services. This strategic alliance combines the expertise of both parties to simplify the tax process and enhance the user experience on both platforms.
For many crypto users in the Netherlands, keeping track of taxes is a complex and time-consuming process. With the new solution, transactions can be automatically processed into accurate tax reports without users having to manually track all their data. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of errors that could lead to incorrect tax filings.
This collaboration comes at a crucial moment. Following the ruling by the Hoge Raad in June 2024, the current form of vermogensbelasting (wealth tax) was found to violate anti-discrimination laws and property rights. As a result, from 2025, the Belastingdienst will tax crypto users based on their actual returns (werkelijk rendement), if this is lower than the fictitious returns calculated by the Belastingdienst.
Given the volatility of cryptocurrencies, actual returns on taxpayers’ portfolios can differ significantly from the fictitious returns. This makes accurate tracking of actual returns essential to avoid overpaying taxes or missing out on potential refunds.
This new system adds a layer of complexity to tax calculations, increasing the demand for specialized crypto tax software. The partnership between Knaken and Divly ensures that crypto users are fully supported in meeting these new obligations.
For the first time, crypto users in the Netherlands will soon be able to use a service that supports them in correctly reporting their crypto taxes. The user-friendly solution helps users quickly and easily meet their tax obligations without requiring specialized knowledge. This lowers the threshold for both beginners and experienced users to stay compliant with the applicable regulations.
The collaboration between Knaken and Divly brings together two industry experts with a shared vision: to make cryptocurrency accessible and simple for everyone. According to Ronald Jonkers, CEO of Knaken, this partnership offers significant benefits for crypto users. “This partnership helps crypto users simplify their tax reporting, an important aspect of owning crypto. By integrating with Divly, the process becomes more accessible and efficient for everyone.”
Carl Gärdsell, CEO of Divly, also sees the added value for users: “By working with Knaken, we support crypto users in correctly and easily fulfilling their tax obligations. This partnership aligns with our goal of making crypto tax reporting as accessible as possible.”
