Raydium LP Tax Treatment

Providing liquidity on Raydium involves depositing token pairs into a pool. This deposit may itself be a taxable event (disposing of tokens in exchange for LP tokens). When you withdraw, you receive different amounts than you deposited — the difference includes impermanent loss and earned fees.

Farming Rewards

RAY farming rewards and LP fee income are generally treated as ordinary income at fair market value when received. Defitax auto-classifies Raydium farming rewards as income events.

Concentrated Liquidity

Raydium's concentrated liquidity positions (CLMM) generate trading fees within your price range. These fee claims are income events. Defitax tracks your CLMM positions and fee claims automatically.
