Tax obligations for CoinSpot users

Every time you sell crypto for AUD, swap one coin for another, or receive staking rewards on CoinSpot, you may trigger a taxable event under Australian law. Selling and swapping are disposal events that can create capital gains or losses. Staking rewards are treated as ordinary income when received.

How to export your CoinSpot transaction history

Log in to CoinSpot, navigate to Orders & History, and select the relevant date range for the 2025-26 financial year (1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026). Click Export CSV to download a file containing your complete trade and order history. Keep this file — you will need it for tax estimation.

Common taxable events on CoinSpot

The most frequent tax-triggering actions for CoinSpot users are: selling BTC or ETH for AUD (disposal), swapping between coins using the Swap feature (also a disposal of the outgoing coin), and receiving staking rewards (ordinary income on receipt). Each of these is handled differently in the estimator.

How to use this estimator with CoinSpot data

After exporting your CoinSpot CSV, you can enter your buy, sell, swap, and staking events into the calculator using the event builder. The estimator applies FIFO parcel matching to calculate gains and losses. Make sure to include AUD values for each event — the estimator does not look up historical prices automatically.

Watch-outs for CoinSpot users

CoinSpot's CSV export may include internal transfers and deposits that are not taxable events — only disposals and income events matter for this estimator. If you used CoinSpot's OTC desk for large trades, those trades should be entered separately as they may not appear in the standard CSV export. Also check that your AUD values are accurate for the date of each trade.
