Crypto and Tax – A Guide

Did you know almost every instance of buying, selling or exchanging cryptocurrency qualifies as a taxable event? Cashing your crypto out for cash may be a given, but even exchanging one type of crypto for another will be treated as a capital gain, and now that the ATO is ramping up their data matching, chances are, they probably know about a crypto gain before you do!

Sometimes even the most savvy of investors can be left scratching their heads when it comes to the tax side of their crypto and as most of us aren’t chartered accountants why don’t you take the headache out of your crypto trading and check out these top crypto tax software options. It will give you more time to focus on your trading and not waste hours miscalculating your crypto taxes.
