Tax, Crypto and Exploring the Problem Areas w Dr Elizabeth Morton

Tax on crypto-assets and taxation beyond Bitcoin was never going to be clear cut. Dr Morton explores the uncertainties and challenges in the application of CGT principles, looks at the tax implications of bitcoin activities beyond CGT, and how to understand your client's activities.

Crypto Assets within Super w Chloe Ward

Cryptocurrency within an SMSF can have its own set of problems - separation of assets and other legacy issues, complexities for auditors and documentation requirements, CGT outcomes, crypto-contributions, use of crypto to fund other assets, and what happens when SMSFs become miners. Chloe identifies the ‘red flag’ areas of concern and walks through the details.
