Tax Buddy creates a simple, sortable trading report which you can send to your local tax authorities alongside your annual declaration.
I've been using this kind of report for the German Finanzamt in order to declare my capital gains ("Kapitalerträge") in a readily comprehensible manner.
For testing purposes, the Demo version places random trades in the Strategy Tester on the symbol of your choice and creates a demo report for them.
Conveniently, all reports are stored in the common path for all terminals installed on a computer. So even if you're using both MT4 and MT5, you will find your tax reports in one single location.
Windows default location of the common files path for all terminals:
Tax Buddy comes with multi-asset support for Forex, Indices, Commodities, Stocks and Cryptocurrencies. If you trade other assets and Tax Buddy does not perform proper calculations, please contact me and I'll be happy to add support for them as well.
Parameters
- Report Start Date: defaults to 01.01. of the current tax year
- Report End Date: defaults to 31.12. of the current tax year
- Report Filename: Supports dynamic placeholders %ACCOUNT%, %START_DATE% and %END_DATE% which get replaced automatically on report generation.
- Report Language: Currently supports "English" and "German". If you want to contribute with a translation, please contact me.
- Balance Operations to include in P/L: Custom filter for tax-relevant balance operations like rebates, dividends and interests. Leave it empty to not include any of them.
- Filter Magic Numbers: Custom filter for including only specific strategies/EAs in the report. By default, all trades are included. Supports multiple Magic Numbers separated by commas, e.g. 1,2,3.
- Overwrite Account Holder: If you trade on an account that's not on your name, e.g. when using funding programs like FTMO or MFF, you can overwrite it here.
Eric does an excellent job here again. I'm already excited about his second product Take a Break, Tax Buddy now also does exactly what it's supposed to do. A problem with RoboForex cent accounts was solved by Eric within a very short time. This is how support works! About the program: What I worked hard to copy from the MT5 report at the end of the year is now very easy. Thank you for this tool!

Eric leistet auch hier wieder hervorragende Arbeit. Ich bin schon von seinem zweiten Produkt Take a Break begeistert, Tax Buddy macht nun ebenfalls genau was es soll. Ein Problem mit RoboForex Centkonten wurde innerhalb kürzester Zeit von Eric beseitigt. So geht Support! Zum Programm: Was ich mir am Jahresende mit viel Fleiß aus dem Report vom MT5 zusammenkopiert habe, geht jetzt ganz einfach. Vielen Dank für dieses Tool!
