A company that trades:
bookkeeping and tax

When an s.r.o. buys crypto, shares or options, it needs bookkeeping that records the trades correctly and a tax approach that holds up. A typical accounting firm often lacks experience with this. We prepare an accounting method for your accountant or run the whole bookkeeping.

Frequently asked questions

Does trading through an s.r.o. make sense?

At higher profits often yes, because of the 10% rate on income up to €100,000 and because a company pays no health contributions on profit. The comparison must include bookkeeping costs, the minimum tax and tax on paying out profit.

Can my accountant handle it?

With the method and policies, yes. We prepare a procedure for the specific types of trades the company makes.

Can crypto be put into an s.r.o.?

Yes, by sale or non-cash contribution. On the individual’s side, however, it is a sale, so timing and valuation need to be planned.

Does the company need an LEI?

For trading securities yes, and many crypto exchanges require it too.

Do you work with companies whose main business is something else?

Yes. These are often companies investing spare cash whose bookkeeping was not set up for it.
