Luno has published another newsroom article featuring Coinfig: Get your Luno crypto history in order before 22 January. This time, the focus is on helping customers bring their transaction history into Coinfig and prepare a tax report.
We're proud to see Luno walk its customers through using Coinfig. Having the figures is one part of preparing a return. Being able to trace them back to purchases, trades and transfers is what makes those figures useful when you review them with your tax practitioner.
Luno introduces its customers to Coinfig
In the guide, published on 3 November 2026, Luno writes:
“We've partnered with coinfig.tax, a crypto tax calculator built for South African tax.”
The article explains the read-only connection, CSV uploads and the steps from importing history to reviewing and downloading a report. It also encourages customers to include activity from other platforms and retain the evidence behind their figures.
Luno's stated free-report eligibility is fewer than 1,000 lifetime transactions and fewer than five data sources. T&Cs apply. Those conditions appear in the disclaimer at the end of the original article.
Choose how to bring in your history
Our Luno connection guide covers both the read-only API connection and the CSV option. Use it alongside Luno's instructions when you're ready to add your account.
Before you begin, think through where your crypto has been. Did you buy it on Luno and later sell it somewhere else? Did you move it to a wallet you still control? An export from the final destination may show the sale without explaining the original purchase. Include the earlier history so you can investigate that gap.
For example, a wallet with a zero balance today may still contain records relevant to a past disposal. Keep it on your list of accounts to check rather than working only from the balances you see now.
Review the report with the original records nearby
Once your history is imported, work through any missing information before relying on the totals. Keep your source exports and notes about unresolved transactions together with the report. That gives you and your practitioner a shared starting point if a figure needs explaining.
The January date in Luno's headline refers to the 22 January 2027 filing deadline for provisional taxpayers. It isn't a general extension for everyone who missed October. SARS lists the applicable filing deadlines here.
