What Pekuna Has to offer!

*Here we will show you various examples of what we offer our customers.

Lukas*

Has tried his luck with cryptocurrencies.

Lukas is the CEO of a reputable IT company in Bavaria. He learned about Bitcoin through an article he read in 2017. Interested in the topic, he invested a small amount and was fortunate to collect high profits. He does not think any further about this revenue at the time. Later, he learns that he should report his income and earnings from crypto to the tax authorities and realizes he must learn how to present this in his taxes. After some research, he quickly realizes that the topic is more complex than he anticipated and will take many hours to figure it out.

Initial Assessment 

The initial assessment is an evaluation of the portfolio and transactions. Here we get a detailed overview of all trades and their categorization.

Tax Assessment

In the tax assessment, we review the current legal situation. We consider all relevant laws and precedents to provide a comprehensive explanation for the tax handling of cryptocurrencies.

Tax reporting for crypto is a Mess

Calculation

The calculation of profits and losses is a complex and time-consuming challenge. A wide variety of rules must be observed, such as first-in, first-out (FIFO) when calculating acquisition costs or the tax relevance when exchanging between cryptocurrencies.

Technical Terminology

When it comes to Bitcoin, Blockchain, and cryptocurrencies, there are many different and specific terms. Depending on how they are used, these can often have the same or very different meanings. Understanding and recognizing these are important to assess all transactions correctly for tax purposes.

Legal Assessment/Evaluation

There is no "central office" and only a few specialized tax consultants who can prepare the relevant evaluations and certificates regarding crypto. As such, staying up-to-date with the latest legal changes and how they need to be applied in crypto tax assessments is essential. 

Technical Knowledge

Blockchain technology requires a comprehensive and relevant knowledge of the subject. Because of crypto's innovative nature, keeping up to date on new specialized knowledge is constantly needed. It is, therefore, essential to always keep an eye open for any new developments and trends on a theoretical and practical level. This is an established standard at Pekuna.

Data Collection

Whether trading on decentralized exchanges (DEX), centralized exchanges (CEX), NFT purchases, staking, lending, yield farming, airdrops, participation in ICOs, or total losses due to the loss of private keys - Pekuna's service specializes and focuses on merging these different data sources. We offer solutions for your data's comprehensive, applicable presentation - and can handle all topics.

Personal Responsibility

Unlike centralized investments through banks and investment institutions, which have to prepare tax information and even report directly to the tax office, with crypto, you are on your own. This means a lot of work on your own, uncertainty in choosing tools, and most importantly, no direct contact for assistance. With personal responsibility and major consequences, this can be a heavy burden on many levels.

Frequently asked Questions
 
 

Accountant - Do I need one? Do I have to change my current accountant? Can my accountant do this?

Pekuna is not a tax advisor/accountant firm; therefore, we strongly recommend working with one. Especially for reporting complicated matters, it is advisable to engage the services of an accounting professional.
We are happy to assist with finding an accountant. If you've already engaged one the process won't be complicated. Our reports are designed to be easily understandable and workable by any tax consultant or accountant.

Can you handle any blockchain issues?

Most likely, yes. Thanks to our large pool of experience, we have already dealt with almost every blockchain, ecosystem, and platform. If we encounter something new, we familiarize ourselves with the topic as needed. This is the same with any new technologies and protocols we come across in the crypto space, as these are constantly evolving.
We have a long track record with common platforms like Uniswap, LP Pools, Maker, and other lending spaces. When we find a new one, we always take the time to familiarize ourselves with them.
Our goal is to understand the issue from the vantage of crypto correctly and then create the appropriate tax evaluation.

How long does it take to prepare a tax report? 

Our workload depends on the season. In general, however, we recommend contacting us as early as possible. We usually have a three to six months waiting time (after initial assessment) until we're ready to start on your case. The estimated time required for the task will be discussed in the initial analysis. Once your case is started, it can take between four weeks to six months to complete.

How careful are you regarding data security?

Data security is extremely important to us, and we use several methods to protect our client's data. All data stored by Pekuna is on a self-hosted and encrypted Nextcloud server. In addition, each client will receive a password in advance, so they can access their data and share their information with us through our encrypted platform.
