Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When you sell shares, you will either have a capital profit or a capital loss. If you sell shares for less than you paid for them (including brokerage costs), you can claim a capital loss, which can be used to offset any capital gains, but not other income, e.g., your salary.
You may be liable for tax when you sell or trade a cryptocurrency if that transaction is what the ATO calls a taxable event, i.e., when you trade crypto for fiat currency, trade one crypto for another, use a crypto to purchase goods or service, or mine cryptocurrency as a means of earning income.
If you hold shares or crypto for at least 12 months and then go on to sell them at a profit, you are entitled to a 50% discount on any capital gains tax that is payable. You should also include any capital losses before you apply the discount.
