The transaction Label Transfer is used to transfer the acquisition data (date and costs) of an outgoing asset A to an incoming asset A between 2 integrations, but can also be used for clawbacks (failed transactions) within one integration. Therefor, Transfers are non-taxable events.
The basis for this transaction label is therefore always the combination of an outflow (withdrawal) and an inflow (deposit) as its corresponding counterpart.
Transfers are usually automatically identified and linked/merged when certain conditions (auto-merging parameters) are met.
Transfers that have not yet been merged or have been incompletely identified are displayed with the Tip: “Unlabeled (In/Out).”
🎓 More details on the tax implications and categorization of all transaction labels can be found in the tax results under the menu item “Reports” and in the last pages of your tax report.
How do I create a Transfer?
Open your Blockpit Account and click on the menu item Transactions.
Now select + Transaction.
Enter the Date and Time of the transaction.
In case of a manually created transaction directly in the WebApp, use your local time.
If the transaction is imported via CSV/Excel, use the standard exchange time UTC.
Now select the Transaction Label Transfer.
Now enter the Integration, Asset and Amount. If you paid Fees, enter them with quantity and currency as well.
Tip:In the input fields for assets, you can enter the short name (BTC) or long name (Bitcoin) as a search term to narrow down the search of the displayed list. If your asset is not selectable, you can get more information here.
Finally, click Save to complete the process and display the transaction in the Integration.
🧮 Effects of manually created transactions on your integration balance
If a Transfer is created as a manual transaction in a Manual Integration, it will have a direct impact on the displayed asset balance of your integration.
If a Transfer is created as a manual transaction in an Exchange or Wallet Integration, it will not directly affect the automatically and independently imported synced asset balance of your integration, but it will affect the calculated asset balance and your tax report..
How do manually created transactions affect my balance?
Manual Integration (CSV/Excel)
Incoming and outgoing transactions (Transfers) created within a manual integration directly affect the displayed asset balance of that integration.
Automatic Exchange or Blockchain Integration (API)
Incoming and outgoing transactions (Transfers) created manually within an automatic exchange or blockchain integration do not affect the automatically imported Synced Balance of that integration. However, they can affect the Calculated Balance and therefore influence the results shown in your tax report.
How are fees considered on a Transfer?
Example: A Transfer of 1 BTC TO 1 BTC with 0.0001 BTC fee.
Fees can be recorded either in the incoming or in the outgoing asset.
Fees, if paid in incoming or outgoing assets, will be considered as follows:
If fees are paid in the outgoing asset:
"The fee is treated as a separate outflow."
Outgoing Amount: Net transaction amount (amount excluding fees)
Fee Amount: Enter fee amount extra
If fees are paid in the incoming asset:
Case1: No additional fee on the deposit side.
Incoming Amount: Net transaction amount (amount excluding fees)
Fees Amount: Enter nothing or 0
Case2: Additional fee on the deposit side.
"If the fee is paid in the incoming currency, the input must be increased by the amount of the fee. The fee will be treated as a separate outflow."
Incoming Amount: Net transaction amount (amount excluding fees) + fee amount
Fee Amount: Enter fee amount as well
