Australia Considers Tax Framework for Crypto Assets

澳洲考慮加密資產稅框架

In response to the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies, Australia's Treasury Department has launched a public consultation on the implementation of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF).

為了因應加密貨幣的日益普及，澳洲財政部就經濟合作暨發展組織（OECD）加密資產報告框架（CARF）的實施啟動了公眾諮詢。

This move follows global efforts to establish regulations and impose taxes on digital assets. Australia, with its significant number of cryptocurrency users, aims to strengthen its financial system and curb tax avoidance activities related to cryptocurrencies.

此舉是在全球努力建立數位資產監管和徵稅之後做出的。澳洲擁有大量加密貨幣用戶，目標是加強其金融體系並遏制與加密貨幣相關的避稅活動。

The consultation paper seeks public feedback on the potential impact of CARF on the domestic tax regime. If implemented, crypto intermediaries such as exchanges and wallet providers will be required to report certain crypto transactions to tax authorities, including details of crypto asset purchases and sales. CARF reporting is anticipated to commence in 2026.

該諮詢文件就 CARF 對國內稅收制度的潛在影響徵求公眾回饋。如果實施，交易所和錢包提供者等加密貨幣中介機構將被要求向稅務機關報告某些加密貨幣交易，包括加密資產購買和銷售的詳細資訊。 CARF 報告預計將於 2026 年開始。

Australia ranks among the countries with the highest proportion of cryptocurrency owners, with approximately 5.5 million Australians holding digital assets. Dogecoin is among the most popular cryptocurrencies in the country, along with Bitcoin.

澳洲是加密貨幣擁有者比例最高的國家之一，約有 550 萬澳洲人持有數位資產。狗狗幣與比特幣一樣是全國最受歡迎的加密貨幣之一。

Industry experts predict continued growth in the Australian crypto market, citing the increasing adoption of crypto technologies and the rise in Bitcoin's value. Despite the Australian Securities and Exchange Commission's strict stance on cryptocurrencies, the market is expected to expand at an accelerated rate.

行業專家預測澳洲加密市場將持續成長，理由是加密技術的採用不斷增加以及比特幣價值的上漲。儘管澳洲證券交易委員會對加密貨幣採取嚴格立場，但市場預計仍將加速擴張。

Recent developments, such as the acquisition of an Australian brokerage firm by Singapore-based crypto platform Crypto.com, underscore the growing influence of cryptocurrencies in the country.

最近的事態發展，例如新加坡加密平台 Crypto.com 收購了一家澳洲經紀公司，凸顯了加密貨幣在該國日益增長的影響力。
