Hi - i'm working through my tax in preparation for the 2025 - 2026 tax year. I have a lot of crypto transactions on exchanges like Coinbase, BTC Markets, Coinspot and then also some on a wallet via Metamask.
Does anyone have any recommendations for the best software to use?
Hi @NewAccount123,
We can't recommend specific software products or services, but we can tell you what good record-keeping software should do for your crypto transactions. You need to keep records of all transactions associated with buying, holding and disposing of crypto assets across all your exchanges and wallets.
Your record-keeping system can be a simple spreadsheet or professional software. The key is that it tracks the details we need for each crypto asset, as they're separate CGT assets. You should choose software that you can understand and operate easily, enables you to meet your record-keeping requirements, and enables you to report digitally to us.
There are free and low-cost Australian crypto tax calculators available that can sync your exchange and wallet accounts. We recommend setting yourself a reminder to export your transaction history at least every 3 months to protect you if you lose access to your account. Before closing any account, export your complete transaction history.
You need to keep these records for at least 5 years after you dispose of any crypto. You can work out your CGT using our online calculator and record-keeping tool. Visit our crypto asset investments page to learn more about keeping crypto records and how to work out and report CGT on crypto.
Hey mate, would highly recommend using summ (formerly crypto tax calculator).
They have a very straightforward process that allows you to link your exchanges & wallets, where it directly pulls your transaction history.
makes the reporting process that much easier :)
