The question „who will do my crypto tax return" has at least five different correct answers in Slovakia, because providers do very different work. A law firm builds structures, an accounting firm keeps company books, an online tool fills in the form, and a specialised adviser reconstructs acquisition costs from a broken history. All of them are legitimate in this field. Not all of them handle what you actually need.
kryptotax.sk is one of the providers in this market. From that position competitors cannot be assessed objectively, so we do not attempt it. What follows contains no ratings and no ranking, only criteria drawn from public sources and the sentences each firm uses about itself. The point is not for you to choose us, but for you to know what to ask, whoever you end up writing to.
Why a crypto return is different work from an ordinary return
On an ordinary return the adviser starts from a single document: an employer certificate or a broker statement. With crypto-assets there is no document at the start, only a broken history spread across exchange exports, on-chain data and bank transfers. That is where all the work sits.
Five problems we see over and over:
- Transfers between your own wallets that software reports as sales. If the system or the adviser classifies them incorrectly, records can show gains that never actually arose.
- Missing acquisition prices for purchases made years ago and for altcoins whose historical rate cannot be looked up in one click.
- Exchanges that no longer exist, some of which wound down after the end of the MiCA transition period, leaving no way to download statements.
- Swaps, staking, airdrops and LP positions where it is not obvious what the taxable moment even is.
- A mix of directly held crypto and crypto ETPs, where two entirely different tax regimes apply inside the same return.
The statutory rates themselves are published on the Financial Administration website and no provider sets them. With crypto-assets the hardest part is therefore often not the rate itself but determining the tax base correctly. That is the output of a data reconstruction, not of a calculation.
Five types of provider and what to expect from each
Law firm with a tax team
The centre of gravity is law and structure: setting up a holding company or fund, regulatory questions, MiCA and AML, litigation. Worth considering if you are running a crypto project, applying for a licence, or need a foreign structure to be defensible. An individual return with a thousand transactions is usually peripheral work for such a firm.
Tax and accounting firm
Keeps the books, payroll and returns. Particularly suitable if you have a company and need crypto-assets to reconcile across both the financial statements and the corporate return. For an individual with a fragmented history, check first whether reconciliation is done in-house or expected from you already finished.
Specialised crypto tax adviser
The work is reconstructing cost basis across multiple sources and translating on-chain reality into the language of the Income Tax Act. Makes sense when your problem is the state of the data rather than a complex legal construction.
Online self-service tool
For around 18 € you complete a type A or B return and receive a PDF and XML. It works well if you already have your tax base and only need it in the right boxes. It will not compute your cost basis and does not try to, which is fine as long as you know what you are buying.
General accountant
Many decline crypto returns, and that is the honest answer. If yours accepts, ask one specific question: how will they match transfers between your own addresses? The answer tells you more about their experience than any general statement about crypto.
Seven questions to ask before you choose
Seven questions every client should get an answer to before handing anyone their exchange exports.
1. Is the adviser on the SKDP register, and under what number?
Tax advisory is a regulated activity under Act No. 78/1992. The register is maintained by the Slovak Chamber of Tax Advisers and it is public. A lawyer is not automatically a tax adviser, and an accountant is neither. Verification takes a minute.
2. Is there professional indemnity insurance, and up to what amount?
Insurance is mandatory for a Slovak tax adviser, but the limit varies and it is not a detail. If something goes wrong in the return, that figure decides what can realistically be made good.
3. Is transaction reconciliation included in the price, or billed separately?
The single most common reason a final invoice differs from the opening quote. The fee for the return and the fee for processing transactions are two different things, and you want to know in advance which covers which.
4. Can they handle DeFi, LP positions and exchanges that no longer exist?
„Yes, we do crypto" is too general. Ask specifically about an exchange that has since shut down and about an LP position, and have the method described to you.
5. Is the price fixed or hourly?
On an hourly rate you carry the scope risk, and with crypto the scope is never clear in advance. On a fixed price the adviser carries it. Neither model is wrong, but it is worth knowing which one you are taking on.
6. Do they take over communication with the tax authority?
Filing a return and representing you in a query or an audit are two different services. With crypto, queries are not the exception.
7. Do they deal with DAC8 and inconsistencies in past returns?
Record-keeping under DAC8 and the CARF framework has been running since 1 January 2026, with the first report due to the Financial Administration by 31 May 2027 for the whole of 2026, after which data is exchanged automatically between tax administrations. If something went undeclared in the past, what happens to the earlier years matters more than this year's return.
Where to look and who you will find in Slovakia
The first step is always the public register of tax advisers on the SKDP website. Enter a name or a number and question one is answered.
Below is an alphabetical list of Slovak firms that publish on crypto-assets or state a service in that area on their own websites. The descriptions are drawn from how they present themselves.

The list is not exhaustive. If you provide crypto tax services in Slovakia and are not listed, write to us and we will add you the same way, with a sentence from your own presentation.
Alongside that, three sources that sit above every provider including us:
- The public register of tax advisers on the SKDP website
- Opinions and methodological guidance from the Financial Administration on taxing crypto-assets
- The crypto-asset supervision section on the National Bank of Slovakia website
Portals such as Podnikajte.sk or Financer.sk are media and comparison sites, not service providers. Useful for reading up on the topic, but they will not prepare your return.
Where things go wrong
Four things we see most often, none of which have anything to do with who provides the service.
Comparing a price for the return with a price for the return plus reconciliation. They are separate line items. With a fragmented history, data work is the bulk of the job, so a price that excludes it cannot be compared with one that includes it.
A promise to sort it out in a day. Reconciling a larger portfolio takes days to weeks. If someone quotes markedly less, ask what exactly happens in that time and what they expect you to deliver already processed.
Software as the solution rather than the input. Cointracking tools can be a good start, but in more complex cases they may not be sufficient on their own. Transfers between your own wallets, missing rates and LP positions have to be finished by hand and the decisions have to be justifiable.
Believing that crypto is tax-free after a year of holding. The 7 % rate for crypto held longer than a year was legislated in 2023 but repealed before its 1 January 2024 effective date, and it never came into force. There is therefore no holding-period test for crypto held directly by an individual. The one-year exemption applies to securities under Section 9(1)(k) of the Income Tax Act, for example crypto ETPs sold on a regulated market. The full comparison of the regimes that actually apply is in our article on crypto taxation in Slovakia.
Self-presentation: how we answer the same seven questions
This section is our own self-presentation, the same kind of material every provider puts on its own site, and it is not independently verified. The first row can be checked, because it is in the Chamber register. We include it so you can see what an answer to the same seven questions looks like when it is specific. Ask the same set of anyone you are considering.

This article is a general overview, not individual tax advice, and not a recommendation of any particular provider. If you need help with reconstructing transactions, missing acquisition prices or a return covering several years, that is the work kryptotax.sk does. If you are dealing with a licence, a structure or a dispute, the list above contains firms that state exactly that agenda. 🇸🇰
