Crypto and Tax – Avoid Crypto Tax Headaches

CoggerGurry • October 1, 2022

Crypto assets tend to be one of those polarising topics that people either love or hate. Since January 2022 crypto has suffered a major crash with its flagship asset Bitcoin suffering prices drops from $67,000 USD in November 2021 to currently sitting just over $19,000 USD per Bitcoin. You may still be holding or if you have sold or exchanged crypto for other currencies you will have tax obligations. 


If you have already invested in crypto assets or are thinking about it, you should seriously consider how you record your transactions and manage the documentation, so you are not left in a mess come tax time. 


At CoggerGurry we recommend CryptoTaxCalculator software and can help you set up a file to track and manage your crypto assets. The ATO is now data-matching on some crypto assets and you risk being put under the ATO microscope if you do not include your gains or losses from these assets.

If you have paid wages to employees in the 2025 financial year you will need to make a finalisation declaration by 14 July 2025 to ensure your employees can access their finalised information to complete their tax return. When you have reported and finalised your employees' information through STP, you are exempt from: providing payment summaries to your employees lodging a payment summary annual report. For payments to your employees that were not reported through STP, you still need to: give a payment summary to your employees provide the ATO with a payment summary annual report for these payment summaries. For small employers (19 or fewer employees) who only have closely held payees, the due date for end-of-year STP finalisation is the payee's tax return due date.
