Digital Surge tax calculator: estimate CGT on your Digital Surge trades in Australia
Digital Surge is an Australian crypto exchange offering a wide range of assets and recurring buy features. If you have bought or sold crypto through Digital Surge 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 Digital Surge history.
Tax obligations for Digital Surge users
Every sale of cryptocurrency on Digital Surge is a disposal event under Australian tax law that can create a capital gain or loss. Recurring buy purchases each create their own parcel with a separate cost base and acquisition date, which matters for the 12-month CGT discount. This estimator is designed for individual taxpayers — if you hold crypto through an SMSF account on Digital Surge, different tax rules apply.
How to export your Digital Surge transaction history
Log in to Digital Surge 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 CSV to download your full transaction records. Ensure recurring buy events are included in the export. Keep this file for tax estimation.
Common taxable events on Digital Surge
The most frequent tax-triggering actions for Digital Surge users are: selling crypto for AUD (disposal) and completing recurring buy purchases (acquisitions that build your parcel history). Each recurring buy creates an individual parcel that must be tracked separately. If you have traded assets other than major coins, confirm that all trades appear correctly in your export with accurate AUD values.
How to use this estimator with Digital Surge data
After exporting your Digital Surge trade history, enter your buy and sell events into the calculator using the event builder. The estimator applies FIFO parcel matching to calculate gains and losses. Enter each recurring buy as a separate buy event to maintain accurate parcel records. Make sure to include AUD values for each event — the estimator does not look up historical prices automatically.
Watch-outs for Digital Surge users
SMSF accounts on Digital Surge are subject to different tax rules than individual accounts — this estimator is for individuals only and should not be used for SMSF tax calculations. Recurring buys can create a large number of small parcels that increase calculation complexity; enter each individually rather than aggregating them. Verify that all trade values in your export accurately reflect the AUD price at each transaction date.

Frequently asked questions
How do Digital Surge recurring buys affect my tax in Australia?
Each recurring buy on Digital Surge creates a separate parcel with its own cost base and acquisition date. Regular recurring purchases can accumulate into many small parcels over the tax year, all of which need to be tracked individually for CGT purposes when you later dispose of those assets.
Can I use this estimator for a Digital Surge SMSF account?
No. This estimator is designed for individual Australian taxpayers and applies individual CGT rules including the 12-month CGT discount. SMSF accounts have different tax rates and rules. If you hold crypto through an SMSF, you should consult a specialist SMSF accountant rather than using this estimator.
