Interesting the tax dept, thinks there are 500,000 to 1m, crypto currency traders in Australia.
Cryptocurrency traders
With the growth in crypto-assets in recent years, it is estimated that there are between 500,000 to one million Australians that have invested in crypto-assets.
While cryptocurrency has been used to move funds within the black economy and hide money offshore, it can be also linked to unexplained wealth and undeclared taxable capital gains.
This year, the ATO is collecting bulk records, including purchases and sales from designated cryptocurrency service providers, as part of a data-matching program to ensure people are paying the right amount of tax.
