How To Calculate Your Zcash Taxes With Kryptos

Zcash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency focused on privacy and anonymity. Launched in 2016, it uses advanced cryptographic techniques, notably zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge), to provide secure and completely private transactions. Unlike many cryptocurrencies that have transparent blockchain, Zcash offers users the option for shielded transactions, hiding sender, recipient, and transaction amount. Zcash is based on Bitcoin's codebase and shares some similarities, but with a strong emphasis on privacy protection, positioning it as an important player in the field of secure and private digital currencies.

If you are using Zcash, follow these steps to connect it with Kryptos – auto-sync all your transactions, analyze your portfolio, and calculate your crypto taxes in minutes.

How are Zcash transactions taxed?

The crypto tax laws may vary depending on the country you reside in and other factors such as your filing status, income bracket, and marital status. But, in general, there are mainly two types of taxes applicable to Zcash transactions.

  • Income Tax- If you are earning rewards (e.g. through lending or staking) or receiving, you may need to pay income tax.
  • Capital Gains Tax- If you profit from the disposal of your crypto assets (e.g. by selling your tokens, ZEC, BTC, ETH, etc.), you incur capital gains tax.
