Frequently asked questions

Does swapping one coin for another trigger crypto tax in Australia?
Yes. A crypto-to-crypto swap is treated as a disposal of the outgoing asset at the AUD value entered and a new parcel for the incoming asset.
Does staking count as income?
Yes. Staking receipts are treated as ordinary income on receipt and then tracked as new parcels for later CGT calculations.
Can I use this to lodge an Australian tax return?
No. It is an informational estimator for Australian individual investors, not lodge-ready software or personal tax advice.
