Has anyone cashing in bitcoins with Mt Gox? How long the fund will hit your local bank account? How the transaction is recorded in your bank statement?
Found at http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1kpthd/aus_austracs_response_to_a_bitcoin_enquiry/ - I am not the person quoted below. From Reddit. My bolding. So no, not considered an e-currency by AUSTRAC yet, but I'll bet it will be soon.
I guess you can treat it like diablo3 gold or World of Warcraft currency for the time being, except its value is sky rocketing in real fiat. Last time I sold Diablo 3 gold and WoW account I didn't have to report it =D. Slam
I want to know what the bank statement says when you receive fund from Coinjar? ATO could ask for CGT.
e-currencies must be backed my something physical under current AUSTRAC rules, they need to re-write the whole thing to include BTC.
