Cryptocurrency: Record Keeping Requirements And Data Matching Program

The Commissioner has published a gazette notice setting out the record keeping requirements for cryptocurrency owners and traders. TheATO advises that it is undertaking a data matching program for 2014-15 to 2019-20 for such entities.

The data obtained from cryptocurrency designated service providers (DSPs) is being (and will continue to be) used to identify the buyers and sellers of crypto-assets and quantify the related transactions. Data will be matched against ATO records to identify individuals who may not be meeting their registration, reporting, lodgement and/or payment obligations.

The ATO will be working with other regulators, including the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), to ensure that tax law requirements align with a whole of system approach.
