Tax obligations for CoinTree users

Every sale of cryptocurrency on CoinTree is a disposal event under Australian tax law that can create a capital gain or loss depending on the difference between your cost base and the sale proceeds. BPay purchases are acquisitions that create new parcels, and recurring buy purchases each create individual parcels with separate cost bases and acquisition dates. The 12-month CGT discount may apply if you hold a parcel for more than 12 months before selling.

How to export your CoinTree transaction history

Log in to CoinTree and navigate to Account, then select Transaction History. Apply a date filter for the 2025-26 financial year (1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026) and click Export to download your full transaction records, including BPay purchases and recurring buys. Keep this file for tax estimation.

Common taxable events on CoinTree

The most frequent tax-triggering actions for CoinTree users are: selling crypto for AUD (disposal), completing BPay purchases (acquisitions), and completing recurring buy orders (individual acquisitions that build your parcel history). Each BPay purchase and recurring buy creates a separate parcel that must be tracked. Verify that the AUD value for each BPay purchase matches the payment you made.

How to use this estimator with CoinTree data

After exporting your CoinTree transaction history, enter your buy and sell events into the calculator using the event builder. For BPay purchases, use the buy event type and enter the AUD amount paid. For recurring buys, enter each purchase as a separate buy event. The estimator applies FIFO parcel matching to calculate gains and losses. All values must be in AUD — the estimator does not look up historical prices automatically.

Watch-outs for CoinTree users

BPay purchases require extra attention — verify that the AUD value in your CoinTree history matches the actual BPay payment amount you sent, as discrepancies can affect your cost base calculation. Recurring buys can create a large number of small parcels over time; enter each individually rather than aggregating them, as averaging parcel costs is not permitted under FIFO methodology. Check your full transaction history to ensure no BPay or recurring buy events have been missed.

Frequently asked questions

How are CoinTree BPay purchases treated for Australian tax purposes?

CoinTree BPay purchases are acquisitions of cryptocurrency. Each BPay purchase creates a parcel with a cost base equal to the AUD amount paid, including any fees. Verify that the AUD value recorded in your CoinTree history matches the actual BPay payment amount you sent.

How do CoinTree recurring buys affect my tax in Australia?

Each recurring buy on CoinTree creates a separate parcel with its own cost base and acquisition date. Frequent recurring purchases can create many small parcels over the tax year, all of which need to be tracked individually for CGT purposes when you later sell those assets.
