How is cryptocurrency taxed?
In Australia, cryptocurrency is subject to capital gains and ordinary income tax
When you dispose of cryptocurrency, you’ll recognize a capital gain or loss depending on how the price of your crypto has changed since you originally received it.
When you earn cryptocurrency, you recognize income subject to ordinary income tax.
The calculator above is designed to help you recognize the tax impact of your crypto capital gains and losses.
The tax calculator calculates your taxes based on your income level. In Australia, your income and capital gains from cryptocurrency are taxed between 0-45%. Generally, the higher your income, the more taxes you pay.
If you dispose of your cryptocurrency after 12 months, only 50% of your gain will be considered taxable income. If you dispose of your cryptocurrency within 12 months, 100% of your gain will be considered taxable income.
Capital losses can offset your capital gains for the year. If you have a net loss for the year, you can carry it forward into future tax years.
Fees directly related to acquiring your crypto can be added to your cost of acquisition. Meanwhile, fees directly related to disposing of your crypto can be subtracted from your gross proceeds. In either case, fees reduce your total capital gain.
Trading one cryptocurrency for another is considered a taxable disposal. You’ll incur a capital gain or loss depending on how the price of the crypto you’re trading away has changed since you originally received it.
Here are a few strategies that can help you avoid your cryptocurrency taxes legally.
Just started using this. Had some a few issues that I sent a quick chat request to after 1AM in the morning EST, and they responded pretty instantly, including modifying their import process for a given Exchange due to said exchange changing their format and they made a code change in less than 24 hours to fix the issue. Awesome customer service.
I have a feeling many frustrated people will leave Cointracker and use Coinledger this year! 👍
Great tools, exceptional service
These tools make life a lot easier and, if you need help with anything at all, the customer service is brilliant. The team replies within a day and they're focused on actually helping you (not just "dealing with" your help request). That's a sign of a solid company.
Great company to work with.
Yuri was very professional and helped solve several issues I encountered. He was very patient even when I asked for some clarifications.
Thank you for all your help Yuri, you are excellent at your job.
Outstanding customer service
Outstanding customer service. Ben R has been extremely helpful, and I must say very responsive/timely with assisting me with downloading a couple of issues. The issues we really mine but Ben R took to the time to get me through them, rather than just referring me to the FAQ or Help menu's. The program makes it easy to identify potential issues with no associated cost. This is a welcomed change from the last (ZL) tax software I tried to use.
If anybody needs a solid crypto tax software let me know and I’ll refer you. I just finished mine via @CoinLedger.
They did everything they promised they would, great support, great software, etc. Will continue to use for years to come
Coin ledger is the BEST
@CoinLedger thanks for adding it all up for me, very eye opening actually doing my crypto taxes correctly for a change 😂
Great Customer Experience
I have used Coinledger the past 2 years. This year I had an issue with a missing cost basis, and Benjamin (Ben R) from their support team, saved me many hours of stress by helping solve my issues efficiently and throughly. He also took time to help answer additional questions I had about past and future tax transactions. I strongly recommend using Coinledger for your tax purposes. Great experience!
Bloody Awesome experience. Almost 600 transactions were taken care of instantly. Charged me only 100 bucks, and I love it.
Dunno what I would do if I had to manually review all of my crypto buys sell stakes and gains for tax season
I used @CoinLedger to automatically generate all of my crypto tax reports for the year.
Great experience with CoinLedger
Great experience with CoinLedger. I've been in crypto for a couple cycles now, and it's always been a nightmare tracking transactions come tax time. Thankfully I came across CoinLedger - the interface is easy to understand, much of the coin tracking is automated, and there is live customer service/ chat if you have a question. Would give 10 stars if I could; highly recommended.
