Binance Tax is a new and free product that helps you calculate your cryptocurrency tax liabilities. You can view and edit your transactions and generate your tax report for the AY 2022 on the Binance Tax tool.
Binance Tax is not an obligation for users. It is simply a tool you can use to unlock the freedom of money. You can use Binance Tax to calculate your tax obligations on trades performed on the Binance platform. Binance Tax will cover other blockchains, exchanges, and wallets in the future.
