How to File Your Ethereum Classic Taxes With Cryptiony

Due to its affiliation with the Code is Law principle, Ethereum Classic is popular with many hardcore crypto enthusiasts who hope for a more decentralised society.

This guide will discuss how to calculate your Ethereum Classic taxes quickly and automatically. Let’s begin.

What is Ethereum Classic?

Ethereum Classic is an Ethereum hard fork that began after a disagreement regarding compensating users for a hack on the Ethereum network in 2016.

While most of the community agreed to reimburse the users and reverse the hack, a portion disagreed based on the Code is Law principle.

Since its inception, Ethereum Classic has been on a different path to Ethereum, using its own consensus mechanism and having its own set of dApps. However, Ethereum Classic is still an EVM-compatible blockchain, meaning you can use the same wallet for Ethereum Classic as other EVM chains.

With that said, you must import each chain’s transactions separately to calculate your taxes with Cryptiony.

You can quickly determine how much tax you owe on Ethereum Classic transactions by importing your ETC wallet to Cryptiony.

Is Ethereum Classic mining taxed in the UK?

Short answer: Yes. In the UK, mining is attributed to Income Tax, so you will owe taxes on coins you earn through PoW mining on Ethereum Classic.
