The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is set to obtain personal and transaction details of up to 1.2 million cryptocurrency traders from exchanges. The move is part of the ATO's efforts to prevent tax evasion. The data collected will include names, addresses, birthdays and transaction details of traders to help the ATO audit compliance with obligations to pay capital gains tax on sales. The ATO aims to identify traders who have not reported their cryptocurrency-related activities, including the exchange of crypto assets when they sold it for currency or used it to pay for goods and services. The crackdown on the crypto industry in Australia has intensified since the collapse of FTX.
