BTC Markets tax calculator: estimate CGT on your BTC Markets trades in Australia
BTC Markets is one of Australia's longest-running crypto exchanges, focused on AUD trading pairs. If you have bought or sold crypto through BTC Markets during the 2025-26 tax year, each trade may have CGT implications. This page explains what to expect and how to use the estimator with your BTC Markets history.
Tax obligations for BTC Markets users
Every sale of cryptocurrency on BTC Markets is a disposal event under Australian tax law. Because BTC Markets focuses on AUD trading pairs, your proceeds are already denominated in AUD, which simplifies cost base calculations. Each disposal can create a capital gain or loss depending on the difference between your cost base and sale proceeds. Limit orders create the same tax obligations as market orders.
How to export your BTC Markets transaction history
Log in to BTC Markets and navigate to Account, then select Trade History. Apply a date filter for the 2025-26 financial year (1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026) and click Export to download your trade records. Repeat this process for any OTC or block trades if applicable, as those may have a separate export. Keep all files for tax estimation.
Common taxable events on BTC Markets
The most frequent tax-triggering actions for BTC Markets users are: selling BTC, ETH, or other assets for AUD (disposal via market or limit orders). Because BTC Markets is AUD-focused, you do not need to convert foreign currency prices. Limit orders that fill across multiple days may generate multiple taxable events — check each fill date individually.
How to use this estimator with BTC Markets data
After exporting your BTC Markets trade history, enter your buy and sell events into the calculator using the event builder. Because BTC Markets uses AUD pairs, the prices from your export can be entered directly without currency conversion. The estimator applies FIFO parcel matching to calculate gains and losses across all your parcels.
Watch-outs for BTC Markets users
AUD pairs make price entry straightforward, but verify that the AUD values in your export match the actual fill prices at each transaction date. If you have used BTC Markets for OTC or block trades, check whether those trades appear in the standard trade history export — they may need to be entered separately. Limit orders that partially fill should have each fill entered as a separate event with its own date and AUD value.

Frequently asked questions
Are BTC Markets AUD pairs simpler for Australian tax reporting?
Yes. Because BTC Markets primarily operates AUD trading pairs, trade prices are already in AUD and do not require currency conversion. This makes it straightforward to enter accurate cost base and disposal values into the estimator.
Do limit orders on BTC Markets create CGT events in Australia?
Yes. A limit order that executes is a taxable event just like a market order. The CGT event date is the date the order fills, not the date you placed it. If a limit order partially fills across multiple days, each fill is a separate event.
