    Just had an interesting thought.
    What if I ran my business entirely on bitcoin?
    Would I be exempt from company tax?

    According to the ATO
    https://www.ato.gov.au/General/Gen/...rrencies-in-Australia---specifically-bitcoin/
    It at first seemed promising:
    but then:
    Then they will nab you for FBT:
    Bummer.
    But of course that only applies if you told them, just like the cash business economy.

    usually you need some kind of gateway that depends on a fiat transfer, therefore any significant activity (over $10k per year) you will need to tell them.

    $10k per year is hobby level income.
