How are Swyftx transactions taxed?

The tax you’ll pay on your Swyftx transactions all depends on how long you’ve held your asset, how much you earn, and the specific transactions you’ve made. You can learn all about it in our  Australia crypto tax guide, but in brief, you’ll pay Capital Gains Tax or Income Tax, depending on your specific transactions:

  • Capital Gains Tax: If you sold or swapped crypto on Swyftx, you’ll pay Capital Gains Tax on any gain. For short-term gains on assets held for less than a year, you’ll pay between 0% to 45% in tax depending on how much you earn. For long-term gains on assets held for more than a  year, you’ll receive a 50% discount.

  • Income Tax: Meanwhile, if you earned new tokens on Swyftx - for example, staking rewards - the ATO generally views this as additional income and you may need to pay Income Tax upon receipt.

Does Swyftx report to the ATO?

Yes. Swyftx is an AUSTRAC-registered exchange and may share KYC data with the relevant authorities, including the ATO, to ensure tax compliance.

How do I file my Swyftx taxes?

You file your crypto taxes as part of your annual tax return with the ATO. You’ll report any gains, losses, or income either via the myTax portal or using paper forms NAT 2541 & NAT 2670.

If you’re doing this yourself -start by identifying the cost basis of each crypto asset, your taxable transactions, and the kind of tax that applies. Then calculate your gains and losses (using an allowable cost basis method), and don’t forget to separate short and long-term gains to make sure you don’t pay too much tax!

Not only do you need to do this for your Swyftx transactions, but for every crypto exchange or wallet you used to trade throughout the financial year. It’s a lot of work for active investors.

But Koinly makes this easy. Just connect Swyftx and Koinly automatically via API or by uploading a CSV file. Koinly then calculates your Swyftx taxes and generates your myTax report, ready to file with the ATO.
