Crypto Tax
Cryptocurrency transactions are subject to Australian tax law, including capital gains tax (CGT) and, in some cases, income tax. The ATO requires businesses and individuals to keep accurate records of all crypto-related transactions—such as dates, market values, and digital wallet addresses. Tax obligations can apply when disposing of cryptocurrency, exchanging it for other assets, or using it for business transactions. We assist with calculating gains or losses, classifying activities correctly, and lodging accurate reports in line with ATO guidance. Clear documentation is essential to reduce audit risk and meet compliance standards.
Capital Gains Tax
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) applies when an asset is sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of at a profit. This includes shares, property, business assets, and cryptocurrency. Businesses must record the acquisition and disposal details, including dates, purchase price, sale price, and any associated costs. CGT is reported annually as part of your tax return, and different rules may apply based on the asset type and holding period. Accurate CGT calculation is critical for compliance and may affect overall tax liability. We help clients maintain correct records and apply the appropriate CGT discount or concessions, where applicable.
Fringe Benefits Tax
Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) is a separate tax employers must pay on certain benefits provided to employees or their associates. Common examples include company vehicles, entertainment expenses, and low-interest loans. FBT is calculated based on the taxable value of the benefit and must be reported to the ATO annually. Businesses must maintain detailed records of all provided benefits, including usage logs and substantiation. Not all benefits are taxable, but it's essential to identify which ones apply and calculate them correctly. We assist with FBT reporting, record keeping, and lodgement obligations to ensure employers remain compliant with current legislation.
Sole Traders, Partnerships, Trusts & Companies
Each structure carries different tax obligations and reporting cycles. Sole traders report business income and deductions in their individual return and may pay PAYG instalments through the year. Partnerships and trusts lodge their own returns and allocate net income to partners or beneficiaries, requiring accurate records, resolutions and distribution statements. Companies lodge a company tax return at the corporate rate and must meet ASIC and director obligations alongside BAS, GST and PAYG reporting. We register the right obligations, prepare BAS and returns, and align distributions and documentation with governing rules to keep you compliant and informed.
Rental Properties
Rental income must be reported and expenses claimed correctly, with clear records for interest, council rates, insurance, agent fees and eligible repairs. Distinguish immediate deductions for repairs from improvements or capital works that are claimed over time, and keep cost-base records for future CGT when the property is sold. Private use or short-stay/holiday letting may require apportionment of expenses. GST generally does not apply to residential rent, while some commercial leases may involve GST depending on registration and lease terms. We set up practical record-keeping, integrate quantity surveyor depreciation schedules where provided, and prepare the relevant schedules so claims and CGT are calculated correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a business tax return?
A business tax return includes your assessable income, allowable deductions, depreciation, employee expenses and any reportable fringe benefits. It must be prepared using accurate records and submitted to the ATO by the correct due date. Businesses may also need to include capital gains, losses, or income from trust distributions depending on their operations.
Do I need to report cryptocurrency gains or losses?
Yes. If your business receives, holds or trades cryptocurrency, you may need to report capital gains or losses. The ATO requires clear records of each transaction, including dates, values, and counterparties. Even crypto used to pay for goods or services may trigger CGT. An accountant can help classify these events and apply current tax guidance.
What is fringe benefits tax (FBT) and who needs to pay it?
FBT applies when businesses provide benefits to employees outside of wages, such as private use of a vehicle, entertainment, or discounted loans. Employers must calculate the taxable value of these benefits and lodge an annual FBT return. This is separate from income tax and applies even if no cash is exchanged. Not all employers are required to pay FBT, but those offering non-cash perks must assess eligibility.
