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).
