Frequently Asked Questions
How is crypto taxed in Australia?
The ATO treats crypto as a CGT asset. Every disposal (selling, trading, swapping, or spending crypto) is a CGT event. Profits are added to your taxable income. Losses can be offset against crypto gains but not other income. The 50% CGT discount applies if held 12+ months.
Do I pay tax on crypto I have not sold?
No. Simply holding cryptocurrency does not trigger a tax event. You only pay tax when you dispose of it (sell, trade, swap, spend, or gift). Transferring between your own wallets is not a taxable event.
What records do I need for crypto tax?
The ATO requires records of: date of each transaction, the amount in AUD at the time, what the transaction was for, the other party's wallet address (from exchange records). Most exchanges provide transaction history. Use a crypto tax tool like Koinly or CryptoTaxCalculator for complex portfolios.
Is crypto-to-crypto trading taxable?
Yes. Swapping one cryptocurrency for another (e.g., BTC to ETH) is a CGT event in Australia. You must calculate the gain or loss in AUD at the time of the swap. This catches many people unaware.
