One example, line by line.
A XT.COM position, as your tax office would treat it. These are example figures, not yours; HashBooks uses your own history for those.
Illustrative · United States
| Realised profit on the position | $1,200 |
|---|---|
| Funding paid while it was open | −$80 |
| Net result | $1,120 |
| At a 22% ordinary rate if short-term | $246.40 |
Rates depend on how the contract is treated; check yours with a tax professional. The full example in the help centre.
Illustrative · United Kingdom
| Realised profit on the position | £1,000 |
|---|---|

XT.COM specifics.
- XT.COM’s ledger comes across too, so rewards, interest and other credits paid into the account are recorded as income on the day they arrive.
- HashBooks prepares your report for the country where you file, not where XT.COM is based, so gains on XT.COM follow your own country’s rules.
- XT.COM offers spot, margin, perpetual swaps and dated futures. Closed positions and funding payments are imported alongside spot trades, so the report shows your whole result on the platform.

Questions
XT.COM, answered.
Does XT.COM report my trades to the tax office?
Reporting depends on where XT.COM is regulated and where you live, so don’t rely on it. Your return has to include every sale and swap across all your platforms, which is what HashBooks brings together.
How are XT.COM futures and perpetuals taxed?
Closing a position realises a gain or loss, and funding you pay or receive adds to or reduces your result. HashBooks imports both from XT.COM and reports them under your country’s rules; the tax section above shows how your country treats them.
Does HashBooks need trading permission on XT.COM?
No. Create the XT.COM key with read access only and leave trading and withdrawals off. HashBooks has no code that can trade or withdraw, and the key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and deleted when you disconnect.
How do I get my XT.COM transaction history for taxes?
Connect XT.COM with a read-only API key and HashBooks pulls the history for you. You can also export a statement from XT.COM and upload it with the HashBooks template.
Which HashBooks plan do I need for XT.COM?
Connecting XT.COM and seeing an estimated tax summary is free for up to 100 transactions across 3 connections. Filing reports for your country start on the Starter plan; see pricing.
Can HashBooks trade or withdraw on XT.COM?
No. The key you create is view-only, and HashBooks contains no code that can trade, withdraw or transfer. It’s encrypted with AES-256-GCM and deleted the moment you remove XT.COM.
