How Crypto Is Taxed in Australia: CGT, Income, and Everything Between
Crypto transactions in Australia fall into two main tax streams – capital gains and ordinary income. In this article, we’ll unpack how the ATO treats each type, walk through practical examples to show the maths step-by-step, and show relevant ATO rulings for clarity on staking, airdrops, DeFi, and wrapping.
This is where crypto tax theory meets reality – the nuts and bolts of how your activity is classified, calculated, and reported. It builds on our Crypto and the ATO – What Every Investor Needs to Know guide, which sets out the ATO’s overall stance on crypto, the boundaries of personal use, and where most investors fit within the rules.
