How Cryptocurrency Taxes Work
Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are treated as property by many governments around the world—including the U.S. Other forms of property that you may be familiar with include stocks, bonds, and real-estate.
Just like these other forms of property, cryptocurrencies are subject to capital gains and losses rules, and you need to report your gains, losses, and income generated from your crypto investments on your taxes.
To do your cryptocurrency taxes, you need to calculate your gains, losses, and income from your cryptocurrency investments in your home fiat currency (e.g. USÂ Dollar, Australian Dollar, etc.).
Once you have your calculations, you can fill out the necessary tax forms required by your country. If you are in the United States, you can learn which forms you need to fill out with our blog post: How to Report Cryptocurrency On Your Taxes.
Why Can't CoinSpot Generate My Tax Forms?
Many cryptocurrency investors use additional exchanges, wallets, and platforms outside of CoinSpot. Perhaps you also trade on Coinbase or earn interest from BlockFi. The trouble with CoinSpot's reporting is that it only extends as far as the CoinSpot platform. If you use additional cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols, or other platforms outside of CoinSpot, CoinSpot can't provide complete gains, losses, and income tax information.

Are you looking to pay taxes on your CoinSpot transactions?Â
In this guide, we’ll discuss everything you need to know to accurately lodge your tax return. We’ll break down the basics of how cryptocurrency is taxed and walk through a simple step-by-step process to make sure you’re reporting all of your CoinSpot transactions to the ATO.Â
What is CoinSpot?
 CoinSpot is an Australian crypto exchange that was founded in 2013 by Russell Wilson. With over 1 million users, CoinSpot is one of the most popular exchanges in Australia and has established a strong reputation for safety and ease of use.Â
CoinSpot supports more cryptocurrencies than any other Australian exchange. With their CoinSpot Bundles product, users can purchase multiple tokens in one transaction without needing to pay multiple fees. Another popular feature is CoinSpot Markets, which allows CoinSpot members to trade with each other for only 0.1% per trade.Â
How do I pay crypto taxes on CoinSpot?Â
The ATO treats cryptocurrency as property, rather than currency. That means crypto is subject to both capital gains and income tax.Â
Capital gains events: Every time you dispose of crypto, this triggers a capital gain or loss that needs to be reported. This includes transactions where you sell, trade crypto-to-crypto, send it as a gift, or use it to pay for goods and services.
To minimize your capital gains tax, be sure to keep track of the holding period of your assets. In Australia, there is a 50% discount for holding your crypto for 12 months or longer.Â
Income events: If you earned crypto from staking or mining, it will be considered ordinary income and taxed based on its fair market value at the time you received it.Â
Currently, you cannot stake or mine crypto on the CoinSpot platform. However, if you transferred crypto income earnings into CoinSpot, you will need to account for those transactions.
In 2019, the ATO announced that it would be collecting records from all Designated Service Providers of cryptocurrency, although the specific exchanges were not listed by name. However, as one of the oldest and most popular licensed exchanges in Australia, it’s very likely that CoinSpot is considered a DSP by the ATO.
Why can’t CoinSpot give me a complete record of my tax history?Â
Because of the nature of cryptocurrency, it’s difficult for any exchange to give its users a complete tax report.
After all, many investors use multiple exchanges and wallets. However, CoinSpot only has visibility to transactions that take place on the CoinSpot platform.Â
If an investor buys Bitcoin on Binance then transfers it to CoinSpot, CoinSpot will not know the original cost basis for acquiring the tokens. In this case, the company won’t be able to provide a complete record of capital gains and capital losses.Â
Luckily, CoinSpot partners with CoinLedger, which is designed to make it easy to calculate capital gains and income across multiple exchanges and wallets.Â
How to lodge your CoinSpot taxes in four stepsÂ
With CoinLedger, reporting your CoinSpot transactions on your taxes takes minutes.Â

And that’s it! Once you’ve integrated all of the other exchanges and wallets you are using, you will be able to lodge your crypto taxes with the click of a button. Alternatively, you can send your transaction data to your accountant. Â
