I am wondering about how to book transaction costs correctly. as I am doing
ethereum tx, I have to track cost basis of the fees. compared to paying
fees to a broker, this is a bit more work.
my entry would look like this:
2018-01-01 * "Send 1.5 ETH & 0.05 ETH gas"
Assets:Crypto:ETH -1.55 ETH {}
Expenses:Crypto 100 USD
Expenses:Crypto:Fees 1 USD
Income:Crypto:PnL
but in this case, the PnL is the total of both ETH entries (Assets and
Fees). to have the entries separated, it could look like this, split into
two entries:
2018-01-01 * "Send 1.5 ETH example"
Assets:Crypto:ETH -1.5 ETH {}
Expenses:Crypto 100 USD
Income:Crypto:PnL
2018-01-01 * "Send 0.05 ETH for gas example"
Assets:Crypto:ETH -0.05 ETH {}
Expenses:Crypto:Fees 1 USD
Income:Crypto:PnL
my question: is it possible to calculate / report the PnL of the fees
separately even though I list it in one entry as shown above? or do I have
to split it for correct calculation?
my assumption is that for tax reporting I have to be able to list PnL for
each position and therefore it would be a problem to mix it with the fees.
thanks
