Unbuildable reports come from never keeping records
Filing needs traceable flows, costs and timestamps rather than rough numbers, and those exist only if recorded when they happen. Binance exports trade and transfer history, which combined with your own sheet becomes a complete ledger.
What to prepare before you start
These five things cover almost every delay people run into: Which reporting basis applies to you under local rules.
Where to export: trade history and transfers. A sheet template for cost and holding periods.
An export cadence, quarterly or monthly.
A bookkeeping routine you can sustain
Five steps, then year-end is just an export: Export the last year and run a trial calculation once your basis is clear.
Log each purchase cost and date in your own sheet. Separate spot, futures and earn income, which are usually treated differently.
Archive quarterly so data never ages out of the download window. Consult a local tax professional rather than guessing.
Fees, limits and processing times
Numbers change from time to time, always confirm on the official fee page before you commit size: Trade history, deposits and withdrawals can be exported as CSV for bookkeeping, and many regions expect annual reporting.
Keeping clean records from day one is far cheaper than reconstructing years of trades once an accountant asks for them. In-app chat is usually the fastest channel for account issues, and the help centre holds step-by-step articles for most problems.
For anything touching funds, open a ticket and keep the case number; never share passwords, codes or seed phrases with anyone claiming to be support. Spot trading starts around 0.10% maker and 0.10% taker for regular accounts, with a BNB-balance discount available when you opt in.
USDT-margined futures commonly start near 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker; funding is exchanged every eight hours on perpetuals.
The Binance-specific part
Binance exports and tax tools produce CSV, sometimes with annual summaries. Check time range and filters before exporting so no sub-account is missed.

How far back can I export
