Australia Considers Tax Framework for Crypto Assets

澳大利亚考虑加密资产税收框架

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).

为了应对加密货币的日益普及，澳大利亚财政部就经济合作与发展组织（OECD）加密资产报告框架（CARF）的实施启动了公众咨询。

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.

此举是在全球努力制定数字资产监管和征税之后做出的。澳大利亚拥有大量加密货币用户，其目标是加强其金融体系并遏制与加密货币相关的避税活动。

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.

该咨询文件就 CARF 对国内税收制度的潜在影响征求公众反馈。如果实施，交易所和钱包提供商等加密货币中介机构将被要求向税务机关报告某些加密货币交易，包括加密资产购买和销售的详细信息。 CARF 报告预计将于 2026 年开始。

Despite the Australian Securities and Exchange Commission's strict stance on cryptocurrencies, the market is expected to expand at an accelerated rate.

行业专家预测澳大利亚加密市场将持续增长，理由是加密技术的采用不断增加以及比特币价值的上涨。尽管澳大利亚证券交易委员会对加密货币采取严格立场，但市场预计仍将加速扩张。
