CGT and the 50% discount for Binance users
The ATO classifies cryptocurrency as a CGT asset, not currency. Every time you sell, swap, convert, or spend crypto on Binance, you trigger a capital gains tax event. The gain or loss is organized in this preview using FIFO as a disclosed software parcel-allocation assumption. The ATO requires supportable cost-base records and does not prescribe universal FIFO.
Capital losses apply first. An eligible Australian-resident individual or trust may then apply a 50% discount to a qualifying gain on an asset held at least 12 months. Companies receive no discount and complying super funds generally use 33.33%. This preview does not collect the entity and residency inputs needed to select a rate.
- Taxable events: Sells, crypto-to-crypto swaps, dust conversions, spending crypto, gifting crypto, Earn redemptions at a gain.
- Non-taxable: Buying crypto with AUD, depositing crypto, transferring between your own wallets, subscribing to Earn products.
- Parcel-allocation assumption: FIFO matches each disposal to the earliest purchase; confirm that complete records support the selected parcels.
- CGT discount: 50% may apply to eligible resident individuals/trusts, 33.33% to complying super funds, and no discount to companies, after capital losses.
- ATO data matching: The ATO collects transaction data from crypto exchanges and matches it against tax returns. Binance is specifically named in their data matching programs.
- Tax year: 1 July to 30 June.
- Filing deadline: 31 October for self-lodgers. Later deadlines apply when filing through a registered tax agent.
- Staking rewards: Treated as ordinary income at the AUD fair market value when received.
- Personal use asset exemption: Crypto acquired for A$10,000 or less and used for personal purchases may be exempt. This rarely applies to exchange trading.
What you get in the report
The calculator parses all 75+ Binance operation types - spot trades, Earn subscriptions and redemptions, Savings interest, Launchpool rewards, dust conversions, distributions, and more. For each disposal in your selected Australian financial year, it identifies the acquisition date, cost basis, and holding period to determine whether the 50% CGT discount applies.
Binance CSVs don't include USD spot prices for most tokens. Our engine automatically enriches every transaction with historical daily prices, then converts all values to AUD using historical exchange rates. The report separates short-term gains (held under 12 months) from long-term gains (held 12+ months, discount applied) and includes a capital gains summary, income section, end-of-year holdings, and a complete audit trail.
ATO data matching and Binance
- ATO data matching: The ATO has specifically named Binance in its crypto data matching programs. They collect transaction data from both Australian and international exchanges and cross-reference it against tax returns. Under-reporting triggers compliance actions.
- AUSTRAC registration: Binance Australia is registered with AUSTRAC as a digital currency exchange provider. This means your account activity is subject to Australian financial reporting obligations.
- Binance Earn and Savings: Flexible Savings interest, Locked Savings rewards, and Launchpool distributions are treated as ordinary income at AUD fair market value when received. When you later sell those tokens, the gain above the value at receipt is a separate CGT event.
- BNB dust conversions: Converting small token balances to BNB ("Small Assets to BNB") is a taxable disposal of each token. These micro-trades are easy to miss manually but our parser catches all of them.
- Multi-currency conversion to AUD: Binance reports values in the trading pair's quote currency (USDT, BTC, BNB, etc.), not AUD. Our calculator converts every transaction to Australian dollars using historical daily rates for accurate ATO reporting.
- Personal use exemption: The ATO's view is that crypto held on an exchange is an investment asset, not personal use property. The personal use exemption does not apply to exchange trading on Binance.
