Crypto Investments and Tax
As specialist crypto accountants on the Gold Coast, we know our stuff when it comes to cryptocurrency. The use and investment into Cryptocurrency has increased over the years and will only continue to grow.
What is Cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security, not backed by any government or central bank. Cryptocurrencies operate on a technology called blockchain, which is a decentralised and distributed digital ledger that records transactions across many computer systems that allow for secure online payments and store of value. The most well-known cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, but there are many others, such as Ethereum, Litecoin, and Monero.

The ATO has put crypto holders on notice, stating crypto, DeFi and NFT trading activities are in the ATO’s crosshairs. If you’ve traded any crypto over the past financial year, it can be daunting trying to get all your transactions in one place.
