Choose the tax solution best suited to your profile
CheckSig offers two tax regimes, designed to ensure compliance and operational continuity, based on your tax residency and management needs.
Administered regime
Integrated tax management
Complete tax management for Italian residents: we calculate and pay taxes on your behalf, freeing you from any obligation in your tax return.
Declarative regime
Annual tax documentation
Ideal for non-residents or autonomous management: we provide a certified and detailed annual report to simplify your tax advisor’s work.
Stamp duty and tax rates
The tax management offered by CheckSig includes compliance with all obligations under Italian regulations, including the monthly application of stamp duty on crypto-assets. Under the declarative regime, clients who are tax residents in Italy retain the obligation to report in the RW section for tax monitoring purposes.
Traceability and reporting
CheckSig ensures complete traceability and orderly reporting of crypto-assets, supporting structured asset management. Clear data, information continuity, and documentation consistent with tax and monitoring obligations.
Crypto Portfolio Report: for the reconstruction and certification of your assets
The advanced analysis service provided by the Digital Gold Institute, an independent research centre specialised in digital assets. A rigorous and methodologically validated report, designed to fully reconstruct and document your crypto operations and the origin of your digital assets.
Who it’s designed for
Ideal for those with a multi-platform history, the Crypto Portfolio Report reconstructs and certifies your past holdings. The service is one-off: by consolidating your assets with CheckSig, data will be automatically updated in future account statements.

Frequently asked questions
Does CheckSig handle taxation for me?
Yes, free of charge. Under the administered tax regime CheckSig computes and pays the stamp duty and the taxes on capital gains on your behalf, and carries any capital losses forward for up to four years. If you hold all your crypto with CheckSig, you do not have to report it in your tax return. The service is not available for company accounts.
What happens to the tax cost basis when I deposit crypto?
When you deposit crypto with CheckSig, the tax cost basis is set to zero. If you bought the crypto elsewhere, you can correct it with the optional Crypto Portfolio Report (CPR) service (provided by DGI): our specialists reconstruct the history of the operations and the correct tax cost basis, which is used to compute capital gains and losses. The service is charged and can be requested through the dedicated form.
