Affordable expertise in complex Australian crypto accounting
Australian crypto tax has never been straightforward. We've been solving it since 2017, helping investors navigate everything from simple capital gains to complex DeFi, staking, NFTs, and multi-chain portfolios.
Usually, the biggest challenge isn't tax. It's data. Like DeFi lending loops that blur the line between capital and income. Or liquidity pool positions that create complex cost-base calculations. And staking rewards that need to be valued in AUD at the time they are received.
These aren't edge cases. It's the reality of modern crypto investing. Without solid data, you can never really know the full picture. So how can you be confident your crypto tax calculations are actually correct?
CountDeFi reconstructs incomplete transaction histories, traces activity across wallets, exchanges, and protocols, and delivers accurate, ATO-compliant tax reports you can file with confidence.
Getting your crypto taxes sorted doesn't have to cost a fortune. Pricing scales with transaction volume and complexity, and all plans include software fees, transaction reconciliation, and a complete tax report. View pricing →

Our Australian crypto accounting services
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Tracking
Australia treats cryptocurrency as a CGT asset rather than foreign currency. Every disposal, including selling, swapping, spending, or gifting crypto, may trigger a capital gains event. CountDeFi reconstructs your complete transaction history across wallets, exchanges, and DeFi protocols, ensuring accurate crypto tax calculations and ATO-compliant reporting.
CGT Discount Eligibility
Australian investors may be eligible for a 50% CGT discount when a crypto asset is held for more than 12 months before disposal. Determining eligibility becomes challenging when assets move between wallets, exchanges, and DeFi platforms. CountDeFi tracks acquisition dates and holding periods across your entire portfolio, ensuring CGT discounts are applied accurately where available.
NFT Tax Treatment
NFTs are generally treated as CGT assets in Australia, although certain activities may be assessed under business income rules. Frequent trading, NFT creation, royalties, and commercial activity can introduce additional tax considerations. CountDeFi categorises NFT transactions correctly, ensuring gains, losses, and income events are accurately reflected in your crypto tax reporting.
Multi-Exchange and Wallet Reconciliation
ATO reporting requires a complete and consistent record of your crypto activity across all exchanges, wallets, and DeFi protocols. Missing transactions can distort cost bases, gains, and income calculations. CountDeFi consolidates and reconciles all data sources, producing crypto tax reports that are complete, accurate, and audit-ready.
Investor vs Trader Classification
The tax treatment of crypto in Australia depends on whether you are considered an investor or carrying on a trading business. Factors such as transaction frequency, commercial intent, and the level of organisation can significantly impact your reporting obligations. CountDeFi analyses your activity profile in detail, supporting accurate classification and consistent ATO-compliant reporting.
Staking Rewards and Airdrop Income
The ATO generally treats staking rewards, airdrops, and many other token distributions as assessable income at their market value when received. These transactions often occur across multiple wallets and protocols, making them difficult to track manually. CountDeFi identifies, values, and categorises each income event, ensuring your crypto tax calculations align with ATO guidance.
DeFi Income vs Capital Events
DeFi transactions can generate both income and capital gains tax events, often within the same protocol interaction. Liquidity provision, lending, borrowing, staking, and token rewards may each have different tax outcomes. CountDeFi analyses every transaction individually, separating income events from disposals to produce accurate DeFi tax calculations that reflect the underlying economic activity.
AUD Valuation at Time of Transaction
The ATO requires crypto transactions to be valued in Australian Dollars at the time they occur. This applies to disposals, income events, NFT transactions, and DeFi activity. CountDeFi applies historical AUD pricing data to every transaction, ensuring your crypto tax calculations remain accurate, consistent, and compliant with ATO expectations.
// EXPERT SKILLS
Why Australian crypto investors hire CountDeFi
Most investors don't come to CountDeFi because they need a tax return.
They come to us because something doesn't add up. A balance is wrong. A wallet is missing. A DeFi position doesn't reconcile. An exchange has collapsed. Or a software report produces a tax bill that makes no sense.
That's where we help. By reconstructing transaction histories and validating the underlying data, we help ensure your crypto tax position reflects what actually happened, not just what a spreadsheet thinks happened. The ATO cares about accuracy. So should you.

// TAILORED PRECISION
Tax software battles with complex crypto
For many Australian investors, crypto tax software is a great starting point. But DeFi, staking, NFTs, bridge transfers, multiple wallets, and years of transaction history can quickly create situations where software struggles to interpret what actually happened. That's where we come in.
Our team reviews, reconciles, and validates the underlying data before finalising your report. The result is a complete, accurate, and audit-ready ATO crypto tax report you can file with confidence.
CountDeFi is Koinly's #1 Global Partner. We rate Koinly highly and use its calculation engine as part of our reporting workflow. If you already have a Koinly portfolio, bring it over — we can work with it.
