How do I create a Kraken tax report?

Does Coinfig support Kraken staking?

Yes. Kraken staking rewards are imported as income at their value on the date received.

Does Kraken report to SARS?

No. Kraken is a US-based exchange and does not report to SARS. You must declare your gains. This is not tax advice.

Are read-only Kraken keys supported?

Yes — and recommended. Grant only the Query permissions so Coinfig can never trade or withdraw.
