Cryptocurrency Tax - Waterhouse Lawyers - Tax Law Specialists

Cryptocurrency Tax

The law around cryptocurrency tax is complex and on the radar with the Australian Tax Office. In 2020 the ATO issued approximately 350,000 notices to cryptocurrency investors.

It is important that you understand your tax obligations and keep accurate accounting records.

Waterhouse Lawyers have expertise in the crypto tax field; with specialised articles featured in both The Tax Institute and Thomson Reuters Tax Bulletin.

We understand crypto tax can be a grey area. Our expert cryptocurrency tax lawyers can help clarify topics such as:

  • Cryptocurrency and Capital Gains Tax;
  • CGT on Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) when the value of the cryptocurrency is nil;
  • Converting cryptocurrency to fiat currency;
  • Tax laws around the sale or gift crypto;
  • Crypto-to-crypto trading;
  • Using crypto to obtain goods or services;
  • Personal use asset exemptions from CGT;
  • Chain splits of different versions of cryptocurrency;
  • Crypto tax reporting requirements to the ATO.

Good Morning Paul,

Just wanted to pass on our appreciation for assisting us today and supporting our company with the ATO interview, your professionalism and knowledge was fantastic, thank you.

 

We understand it’s still along way away but we feel comfortable that we have selected the right professionals for the long task ahead.

Tania and her team supported me through a really difficult time dealing with the ATO following a long illness. Tania was able to ensure that I was remitted the full amount of general interest charges that had been imposed by the ATO, in circumstances when my initial request for remission had been rejected with seemingly no proper consideration or good reason. The entire team were so supportive throughout. Without her support, I may not have proceeded to push for remission of the charges and, without her knowledge of the ATO and lobbying of relevant persons, I do not have confidence that my case would have been properly considered by the ATO the second time round. My heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Waterhouse Tax Lawyers.

GIC remission success

A million thanks for a great result

Well thank you God & thank you Tania! I’m so grateful to you for your advice and for the time and care taken in the delivery so I could trust you and follow that advice. A very happy Christmas to you and many blessings as you have given me the best gift I could hope for.Lauren
