The transaction label Stock Sale is used to record the inflow of assets resulting from the sale of stocks (shares or similar assets). The transaction is valued based on the market value at the time the assets are received.
It can be used, for example, when the outgoing or sold stocks should not or cannot be represented in Blockpit, such as when you manage the tax reporting for your stock portfolio separately and only want to document the resulting inflow of assets (e.g., cryptocurrencies or fiat) within Blockpit.
🎓 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 an Stock Sale transaction?
Open your Blockpit Account and click on the top 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 Stock Sale.
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 Stock Sale 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 Stock Sale 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 are fees considered in Stock Sale transactions?
Example: Stock Sale of 0.001 BTC with 0.0001 BTC fee.
Fees are mostly considered on the withdrawal side, but can also occur on deposits.
Fees, if paid in the incoming asset, will be considered as follows:
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
