Why ArcanTax Exists

The crypto tax industry is broken.
We fixed it.

Koinly. CoinTracker. CoinLedger. Three data breaches. Prices that punish active traders. Mislabeled transactions. And every single one stores your financial identity forever. We read every complaint, every Reddit thread, every breach report — then built the opposite.

Koinly — Pricing
"Pricing depends on past transaction volume — even the highest package doesn't include unlimited transactions. Extra activity requires an additional fee."

Active traders get punished most. 500 trades a year? $99. 5,000 trades? $279+. Same tax forms. Different invoice. ArcanTax: flat $49 regardless of trade count. Always.

CoinTracker — Pricing Logic
"Pricing scales with your transaction count, not your gains. DeFi users can rack up thousands of transactions while barely making — or even losing — money, yet still pay the same."

You lost money this year. CoinTracker still charges you $599 because you tried a lot. We charge based on reports, not your activity level.

Koinly — Accuracy
"Some customers complain the platform mislabels transactions, doesn't make it easy to re-classify manually, and takes time to sync with some wallets."

A mislabeled transaction filed with the IRS is your problem, not theirs. ArcanTax shows every classification. You control it. CSV in, you verify, you download.

CoinLedger + CoinTracker — Security
"CoinLedger experienced a data breach in 2020 where personal data was put up for sale on a dark net forum. CoinTracker experienced a leak in 2022 and was again hit in 2025."

Three breaches across the biggest names. Your trade history, identity, email — all exposed. ArcanTax cannot be breached. We hold nothing.

Architecture

Built to know nothing about you

Every competitor has been breached. Koinly. CoinTracker. CoinLedger. They store your trade history, your email, your identity — tied together. We store nothing. There is nothing to breach.

  • Zero Email Required

    No account. No signup. No password. Nothing to phish. Nothing to leak. Pay and use.

  • Session-Only Processing

    Your CSV lives in your browser session. Our server processes it in memory and discards everything the moment your download starts.

  • Access Key — Not Our Database

    After payment you receive a cryptographic key. Save it like a wallet seed. Paste it any time on any device to restore full access. We never store it — we never know who you are.

  • Cannot Be Subpoenaed

    We have no user database. No transaction logs. Nothing to hand over. Because we never had it.

Versus

Three breaches. Hundreds of dollars.
Identity stored forever. Or — us.

Every major competitor has been breached, overcharges active traders, and requires your email tied permanently to your financial history. We don't.

Questions

The things people actually ask

ArcanTax supports six jurisdictions with hardcoded rules from official sources: 🇺🇸 United States (IRS Pub. 550, verified Dec 2024) · 🇨🇦 Canada (CRA IT-479R + 2024 Budget, verified Nov 2024) · 🇬🇧 United Kingdom (HMRC CG78300 + Finance Act 2024, verified Oct 2024) · 🇦🇪 UAE (UAE FTA + VARA 2023, verified Sep 2024) · 🇩🇪 Germany (EStG §23 + BMF 2022, verified Oct 2024) · 🇦🇺 Australia (ATO TD 2014/25, verified Sep 2024). Every report you download is stamped with the exact rules version and verification date used.

Tax rules are versioned files updated when laws change — not AI prompts that drift. We follow a country-specific update schedule: US rules are reviewed January and April, UK in March and October, Canada in March/April (budget season), Australia in May and July (tax year), UAE and Germany annually. When a significant change occurs — like Canada's 2024 capital gains inclusion rate change or the UK's annual exemption cuts — we update, version-bump, and re-verify before the next report season. Your report always shows exactly which version was used.

Under §23 EStG, German individuals pay zero tax on cryptocurrency gains if the asset was held for more than one year. This is one of the most favorable crypto tax rules in the world. ArcanTax automatically identifies all holdings over 365 days in German reports and marks them as tax-exempt, while short-term gains are calculated at your marginal income tax rate. Note: the €1,000 Freigrenze is a threshold, not an exemption — if your total short-term gains exceed €1,000, the entire amount becomes taxable, not just the excess.

The UK uses a unique "share pooling" method where all units of the same cryptocurrency are merged into one pool with an average cost basis — you cannot use FIFO or LIFO. The UK also has two special matching rules that take priority: the same-day rule (buys and sells on the same day are matched first) and the 30-day bed and breakfast rule (repurchases within 30 days of a sale are matched to that sale, preventing artificial loss harvesting). ArcanTax applies Section 104 pooling and flags same-day and B&B situations for your attention.

After payment you'll see your Access Key — a cryptographic token unique to your purchase. Copy it or download it as a small file and save it somewhere safe (notes app, password manager, anywhere). Any time you return to ArcanTax on any device, paste that key and you have full access instantly. Think of it like a Bitcoin wallet seed — it proves ownership without revealing identity. We never store it. You own it completely.

It's a revenue model that punishes active traders. Koinly's top plan runs $279/year and still caps transactions — go over and you pay more. CoinTracker scales to $599/year based purely on trade volume. A DeFi trader who lost money this year can still owe CoinTracker hundreds of dollars just for trying. ArcanTax charges a flat rate per report. 100 trades or 100,000 — same price. We think the tool should cost what it costs to run, not what it can extract from the most active users.

Because they built account-based systems that store your financial identity permanently. CoinLedger (then CryptoTrader.Tax) had user data put up for sale on the dark net in 2020. CoinTracker had emails leaked in 2022 and was hit again in the 2025 Mixpanel breach. Koinly was also caught in that 2025 Mixpanel breach. Every breach happened because these companies held data they didn't need. ArcanTax holds nothing. There is no database to breach, no user table to dump, no trade history to sell. This isn't a marketing claim — it's an architectural fact.

A known frustration with Koinly is that it auto-labels transactions in ways users can't easily override. Filing incorrect classifications with the IRS is your liability, not the software's. In ArcanTax, every single transaction classification is shown to you before you download anything. You can review, correct, and confirm. The report you download is what you verified — not what an algorithm decided for you.

Your CSV file is processed entirely in your browser session. When our server needs to run calculations, data is passed in memory, used for computation, and immediately discarded after your report is generated. Nothing is written to a database. Nothing is logged. When your session ends, it's as if you were never there.

Yes. ArcanTax generates Form 8949 and Schedule D outputs that follow IRS Publication 550 standards. The reports are formatted for direct submission or TurboTax/TaxAct import. That said, ArcanTax is a calculation tool — not a CPA. For complex situations, review with a tax professional.

Any exchange that exports a CSV — including Binance, Coinbase, Coinbase Pro, Kraken, Bybit, KuCoin, Gemini, OKX, and more. If your exchange exports a standard CSV, ArcanTax can parse it. Custom column mapping is available for lesser-known platforms.

Yes. Pay with BTC, ETH, USDT, or USDC and we have zero identity information about you. The payment is verified on-chain, access is granted via a one-time session token, and nothing is tied to a name, email, or account. We genuinely do not know who you are.

The wash sale rule prevents claiming a tax loss if you repurchase the same security within 30 days. The IRS currently does not classify cryptocurrency as a security, meaning crypto traders can sell at a loss, immediately rebuy, and still claim the full tax deduction. This is one of the most powerful — and legal — tax advantages available to crypto traders, and ArcanTax's harvesting tool is built specifically to find every opportunity.

It's gone. Not archived. Not anonymized. Not sold. Deleted from memory. The architecture is designed so that retaining data is technically not possible without a deliberate change to the system. We built it this way on purpose. The tax tool that forgets you isn't a slogan — it's the architecture.
