CGT on USDT/AUD Price Movements
The ATO treats cryptocurrency as property — disposing of USDT triggers a Capital Gains Tax (CGT) event, and gains or losses from AUD/USD exchange-rate movements are assessable.
Capital Gain from AUD Weakening
You buy 10,000 USDT when the rate is A$1.40 per USDT, costing A$14,000. The Australian dollar weakens against the USD, and you later sell at A$1.50 per USDT, receiving A$15,000. Your capital gain is A$1,000 (A$15,000 − A$14,000). If held for more than 12 months, only A$500 is assessable under the 50% CGT discount.
Capital Loss from AUD Strengthening
You buy 10,000 USDT at A$1.55 per USDT, costing A$15,500. The Australian dollar strengthens against the USD, and you sell at A$1.45 per USDT, receiving A$14,500. Your capital loss is A$1,000 (A$14,500 − A$15,500). This loss can offset other capital gains in the same or future financial years.
Key Rules
- Every disposal of USDT (selling, swapping, or spending) is a CGT event — you must calculate the gain or loss in AUD at the time of each transaction.
- Holding USDT for 12 months or more qualifies for a 50% CGT discount, reducing your assessable gain by half.
- The ATO recommends using crypto tax software such as Koinly or CryptoTaxCalculator to track cost base and disposals across multiple wallets and exchanges.
- You must report all crypto disposals in your annual tax return, even if the net result is a loss. The ATO data-matches exchange records via its crypto data collection program.
