#EveryoneNeedsaPlan To Meet CGT Obligations When Dealing in Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency, and dealing in cryptocurrency (i.e., buying and selling), as become very popular with many investors over the last several years.  However, a considerable number of those investors are unaware that there may be tax payable on the profits generated from their cryptocurrency dealings.

The ATO considers any profit made from dealing in cryptocurrency, whether you are a sophisticated investor or just an ordinary citizen trying to make a buck, the profits are subject to tax.  The most common tax likely applicable will be Capital Gains Tax (CGT).

The Capital Gain made from cryptocurrency dealings will either be 100% taxable (i.e., the whole of the Capital Gain is added to the investor's individual taxable income) or 50% taxable if the investment was held for more than 12 months.  Either way, it is strongly recommended that you seek advice from a suitably qualified Tax Adviser if you are dealing in cryptocurrency and making profits.
