One of the largest crypto exchanges worldwide, Phemex lets crypto investors of all experience levels buy, sell, trade and stake their crypto assets. Koinly can help you do your Phemex taxes safely, quickly, and accurately.
Phemex is a large crypto exchange and as such will definitely be of interest to tax offices around the world including the ATO, HMRC and the CRA. Many of these tax offices require exchanges to put KYC processes in place and share customer data to ensure tax compliance.
Important
Please note, Koinly only requests read-only API permissions and this does not give us access to moving your funds.
You can't download a complete transaction history CSV file from Phemex, so you'll need to download several different CSV files to import to Koinly. The files you can download are:
If you're uploading these CSV files to Koinly - you'll only need the first five reports as they include all the information Koinly needs to calculate your crypto taxes. Follow the steps below - or use Phemex's guide on how to get the different account statements.
Now you've got your CSV file, here's how to upload it to Koinly.
Important
1. If you're using the CSV file upload method make sure to import your deposits, withdrawals and trades for ALL trading years and not just the current year. This will allow Koinly to correctly calculate your taxable position. Phemex only lets you generate 3 months worth of transaction data at a time, so you may need to download multiple files to include your full transaction history.
2. Koinly will automatically aggregate all Closed PNL transactions for the same contract to a single daily transaction. All fees and funding payments will be saved as a single daily transaction for all different contracts combined. This is done to avoid importing thousands of small transactions of insignificant value which is often included in the Phemex CSV files. This means that you might see only 100 transactions on Koinly instead of 1,000 or 2,000 using another crypto tax platform. This makes it easier for you to verify that transactions are imported correctly, and the resulting gain/loss will be exactly the same.
