Margin trading and liquidations in Spain: tax guide

Margin trading gains/losses: Capital gains/losses same as spot trading (leverage doesn't change tax type)

Margin loan interest: Deductible expense

Funding rates: Paid (negative) = deductible; Received (positive) = capital income

Liquidations: Forced close = real capital loss (the full margin lost). MUST be declared to offset future gains.

kointax correctly handles all margin trading events, interest deductions, and liquidations.
