ATO Tax On Bitcoin

ATO The Australian Taxation Office recent guidelines on Bitcoin has classed it as an asset instead of a currency.

This means the purchase of Bitcoins will attract GST.

The way to solve the problem is for the ATO to treat Bitcoin as a “foreign currency” which removes the need to pay GST.

Bitcoin is officially recognized as a “private money” in Germany and the United Kingdom.

We hope this recognition by foreign governments may satisfy Australian tax law of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies status as “foreign currency”.
