So I know some of you have been making some mad sick gainz throughout the year and not sure where to go for impending crypto tax.

I'm in the same boat and had a look at this site but didn't sign up.
I got an email giving me the discount code for 30% off their plans via coupon so I signed up and it is damn easy to keep track come tax time using this site. the plan is for one year so you can get all past years done including this year and some of next year if you sign up before the coupon expires.

Plans are:

Rookie $49 ($34.90) 100 transactions or less
Hobbyist $127 ($88.90) 2500 transactions or less
Investor $249 ($174.30) 10000 transactions or less
Trader $399 ($279.30) 100000 transactions or less (Business)

It all seems above board from an Aussie company as well, these prices all include GST

    I'm not too sure but I think Koinly is a decent free alternative for tax reports? I'm am yet too use it though

      I used koinly last year and they were great however this year with the uniswap bonanza at the end of last year and token swaps etc its a little more complex

      • BugsBunnyAUS on 24/02/2021 - 14:58

        Koinly is good, I just joined up the other day. Though the "free" tool just seems to report capital gains in totality - does not seem to split between holdings of less or greater than 12 months which is important.

        • hen dawg on 24/02/2021 - 17:52

          Correct, gotta pay for an actual tax report (of course). Koinly is a good service and nice to track portfolio for free before paying.

    This is why I stick to BTCMarkets, their inbuilt tax tool is great.

    • metalslaw on 24/02/2021 - 14:26

      Not completly directed at you. Just something I found a while ago in regards to btcmarkets tax reports.

      There was a bug a year ago that any crypto withdrawal fees (priced in BTC, ETH, etc) were being included in the fees column (AUD).

      Not sure if that is still there, as they now don't even show any transactions for me in 17/18 for detailed report, even though I had several tx's. For the report summary of same period, they show only one AUD deposit, with still no tx's…

      For another year, the PDF summary shows 'no tax events occurred on this account during this financial year'.

      Detailed Report, Shows all transactions (around 50).

      In the detailed report, any deposits are determined to have a cost base at time of deposit, which is incorrect. However you can put it the correct value, then calculate the correct gain/loss. But that is only as 1 value, and doesn't show the complete fifo queue you have to deposit, nor the miner/withdrawal/buy fees.

      So btcmarkets tax reports are no good for me.

      But if you have only ever used btcmarkets, and no other exchanges, you might be ok. I'd double check them at least once with your tax agent to make sure they are correct.

      • JSONBourne on 24/02/2021 - 14:46

        Of course, I’ve found the moment you start asking it to account for withdrawals or crypto->Crypto transactions it falls over.

        For the average joe just going from FIAT to Crypto and back to FIAT it works great.

    • k15866 on 24/02/2021 - 15:26

      I too found their inbuilt tax tool to be inaccurate. I didn't find out how they were calculating things, but my crypto tax going off their report would have been ~2.5x what I believed to be correct

    • niiko on 24/02/2021 - 22:29

      Their fees are crazy. A trade which on Binance costs $1 on BTC markets costs $20+.

    If you are making your trades on BTCMarkets, it's worth knowing that they prepare Tax Reports for you for free.

      Btcmarkets is good if you're only doing AUD/coin trades

      I think the difficulty is when you start trading the main coins for alt coins because each trade is considered a CGT event.

        This is where it's going to be a massive pain.

      • metalslaw on 24/02/2021 - 14:35

        Yep, for a crypto pair you need the historical price for at least base currency (btc) in AUD.

        Crypto archive has the historical minute data for at least a good approximation of the btc price, at that particular minute in USDT. (though there is a few AUD pairs being recorded now).

        https://www.cryptoarchive.com.au/

        You can then use that historical price, convert it to AUD, using historical records of AUD/USD daily close.
        https://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/historical-data.html

        Then you can work out the alt coin price for the trade by multiplying the ratio(the 'price' you paid) by the historical BTC price.

        i.e. Trading against a base pair of AUD makes tax time easy. Trading against USD/USDT is ok, as it's then only a small conversion. And trading against BTC/ETH/BNB/etc is a real pain when it comes to tax. Do not do it, ever.

  • drfuzzy on 24/02/2021 - 13:38

    "Single plan covers all tax years from 2013-2021"
    Cost quoted per year.
    Which is? Pay once and it will calculate 2013-2021 or do you have to pay for each year seperately?

    • worthy1 on 24/02/2021 - 13:42

      It will be a yearly fee but you can import all your transactions since 2013 to go back and alter your reports if need be.

      • drfuzzy on 24/02/2021 - 13:43

        So pay once for 2013 to 2021?

        • worthy1 on 24/02/2021 - 13:56

          Correct. Then pay again next year.

          • sep1 on 04/03/2021 - 14:50

            @worthy1: I think you can get away with paying every two years if you buy it after EOFY. I bought mine in Oct 2020 and used that to calculate for FY19-20, I just checked now and it's still good for FY 20-21. So assuming that it's not auto-renewing and they don't close the loophole, I'll buy it again in Oct 2022 to use for FY21-22 and FY 22-23.

  • inamberclad on 24/02/2021 - 13:41

      airdrops etc are income tax trades are capital gains. I imported my eth wallet and have both capital gains and income

      • drfuzzy on 24/02/2021 - 13:46

        Airdrops should not be taxable until you sell. CGT event with zero cost base.

          You'd recognise the airdrop as ordinary income when you receive it, and that would become your cost base when you sell it.

      I think this language is probably aimed at people who have earnt farming rewards, staking rewards, or masternode rewards.

    • nascowe on 24/02/2021 - 14:49

      I made a competing application (no longer active). They are correct.

      Staked rewards are generally counted the same way as dividends. IE you value it at the time of receiving the staked reward and pay income tax on it under "Other Income" in your tax return. Then if it goes up or down you would typically treat it as a capital gain from this point onwards (assuming you are holding it from that point on for investment purposes).

      Staked rewards source: https://www.ato.gov.au/general/gen/tax-treatment-of-crypto-c…

      How are gas fees treated?
      Is the gas you spend per transaction part of the cost base for CGT purposes? Or is it a deductible expense against the income?

      • Saurabhdedhia on 24/02/2021 - 18:28

        Depends on the transaction, but most of the time should be cost base.

        Agree with the approach.
        My experience is when they do send an auditor, the auditor also works it out "roughly" but completely in the ATOs favour. Then they amend your tax return. The onus is now on you to prove the auditor wrong.

        • Nom on 24/02/2021 - 23:23

          Luckily crypto tax is pretty simple - providing you export your CSVs from your providers, and so you have accurate records of your transactions, then there isn't much room for "adjustment" - the auditor wouldn't really be able to come up with different profit/loss numbers unless your data had holes in !

      You expect to not pay Tax on Gold or exchange rate fluctuations if you’re holding overseas currency? It’s exactly the same thing.

      For something that is a ‘store of value’ it needs to be taxed as such. If you transfer from AUD -> USD -> AUD and make a profit that also is a taxable event. BTC is no different whether you consider it a currency or an asset.

      If they didn’t tax it imagine how much that loophole would be abused. Every man and his dog would throw money into these assets because they would be tax free. Hey I’d get paid in BTC if that were the case!

      Aside from wanting to get rich quick, for what reason should it be excluded from Tax?

      • bongo007 on 24/02/2021 - 15:17

        Your pay would just get calculated from AUD to BTC on payday - how is this any different from you converting it to BTC on payday yourself? You then shouldn't get taxed for spending your BTC, because income tax was already taken out.

And even that step is easy for the ATO - they can simply ask your provider to hand over the deets ! Many countries have tax treaties in place and information sharing - and even if you choose a provider in a "difficult" country, the ATO can still just ask your Aus bank to send them a list of customers who've sent money to the attached list of crypto companies….

                        If you change your resident tax country, then the ATO treats that event as a disposal (sale) - https://www.ato.gov.au/general/capital-gains-tax/internation… - at which point you owe CGT on all the gains you've made. Even though you haven't traded or sold !

                        This is just the way cap gains operates, it's exactly the same for shares, property, crypto, etc.
                        The ATO knows what shares you own, because your broker tells them. They know what property you own because it's a public record. They know what crypto you own, because your exchange tells them OR a foreign government tells them OR your Australian bank tells them you've sent $$$$ to crypto exchange OR they know which wallets are yours because another Australian sent some crypto to you and told the ATO about it, etc. etc.
                        There's no anonymity unless you're extremely meticulous about cold wallets unlinked to other entities and funded purely by cash - approximately nobody operates this way 👍

                            If your point all along was that mining coins was anonymous and hard to enforce tax rules on providing you don't interact with any commercial entities then I completely agree.
