Australian Statutory Restrictions & Myth-Busting (Antifake 2026)

Antifake (ATO Statutory Rule) : The A$10,000 Personal Use Asset exemption (ITAA 1997 s.118-10(3)) almost NEVER applies to crypto held as an investment or swapped between tokens — furthermore, selling at a loss before June 30 and immediately repurchasing violates ATO Wash Sale Ruling TR 2008/1 (Part IVA).

Benchmarking this dossier across Australia, our audit of AUSTRAC-registered Australian crypto exchanges and AUD fees demonstrates the 0.10% Market orderbook advantage over 1.00% Instant Buy. Meanwhile, our Australian bank PayID 24-hour hold and monthly crypto cap matrix compares Macquarie, ING Australia, Up Bank, CBA, and Westpac. Finally, run your numbers through our ATO 12-month 50% CGT discount and SMSF crypto tax calculator before lodging your myTax return.
