How is crypto taxed on BingX
Ever since the first ATO crypto tax guidelines were introduced back in 2014, it’s been clear that crypto is taxable. As an Australian taxpayer, you are legally required to declare your local and worldwide income, including your crypto gains and losses on BingX.
There are two types of assessable income that your crypto investments are taxed on in Australia:
- Capital Gains Tax - You’ll end up with capital gains whenever you purchase a crypto asset, and later sell it for a higher price. Capital gains and losses can result from trades, swaps, gifts and many other transaction types.
- Ordinary Income - You can easily end up earning income from a number of sources such as commissions, earn programs, staking and many more. These sources of income also need to be declared on your income tax return.
Crypto tax is complicated, which is why most tax professionals recommend using crypto tax software to automate the tax calculations for you. That way you won’t make mistakes that could trigger an ATO audit.

Does BingX report transactions to the ATO
BingX is an AUSTRAC registered Digital Currency Exchange (DCE). As an AUSTRAC registered DCE, BingX must perform KYC and know the identity of their customers. This is important for preventing scammers and criminal activity.
Since 2019 the ATO has been operating a data sharing program with Australian Digital Currency Exchanges. Under the data sharing program, the digital currency exchange must provide transaction data of their users to the ATO when requested.
In short, the ATO knows your transaction history on BingX. You’ll know the ATO has your cryptocurrency transaction data, as it will show in the prefill report on your tax return.
The ATO is only getting smarter at analysing crypto transactions. Even if your crypto transactions don’t show up on your prefill it’s still important that you do calculate and declare your crypto gains, otherwise it’s only a matter of time before the ATO comes knocking.
How to do your BingX taxes
Our Australian financial year starts on the 1 July and ends on the 30 June each year. You can prepare and lodge your tax return after the 30 June.
You have until the 31 October to lodge your individual tax return, or you can get an extended lodgement deadline till 15 May when lodging through a registered tax agent.
There are three ways you can complete your cryptocurrency tax return:
- Do it yourself by hand in a spreadsheet. 😭
- Provide your transaction statements to your tax agent / accountant.
- Use crypto tax software to automate the calculations and optimise for lower tax.
If you decide to do it yourself by hand, then you will need to be very careful to track the individual cost base of each crypto asset, and calculate the capital gain or loss on each disposal. This might be okay if you only have a handful of transactions. 👍
