Our take
Koinly is the biggest name in crypto tax software worldwide, and its Australian support is first-class rather than an afterthought: myTax-ready figures, the 12-month CGT discount applied automatically, and financial-year reporting aligned to June 30. With 800+ exchange, wallet and blockchain integrations, it connects to almost anything you've ever traded on.
The model is the category standard: connect your accounts free, watch it reconstruct your history, and pay only when you want the report for a given financial year. For Australians with accounts scattered across local and international platforms, Koinly's integration breadth is usually the deciding factor.
Before you pay
You pay per financial year, priced by transaction count — so a heavy DeFi year costs more than a quiet HODL year. The free preview shows your estimated gain before you pay a cent, which is the right order of operations: never pay for a tax report until you've seen the reconciliation is clean.
Who is Koinly for?
✅ Good fit if…
- You've used many platforms — the 800+ integrations swallow messy histories
- You want myTax-ready numbers with the CGT discount handled automatically
- You want the safest mainstream choice your accountant already knows
⛔ Look elsewhere if…
- You want Australian-built, ATO-only software (Summ, Syla)
- Your trading is simple and local — cheaper AU-focused plans exist
- You need portfolio tracking as the primary feature
Getting started with Koinly
- 1 Connect everything — free
Link every exchange and wallet you've ever used via read-only API keys or CSV. Koinly previews your history before you pay anything.
- 2 Review the reconciliation
Check for missing cost bases, unmatched transfers and mislabelled transactions — five minutes here is the difference between a right and wrong return.
- 3 Generate the FY report
Pay for the financial year you're lodging and export the ATO-format capital gains report (or hand your accountant access).
- 4 Keep it connected
Leave the integrations live — next July becomes a ten-minute job instead of an archaeology project.
FAQ
Does Koinly produce ATO-ready reports?
Yes — Koinly generates Australian capital gains reports in ATO format, including the figures you need for myTax, with the 12-month CGT discount handled.
How much does Koinly cost?
Pricing changes frequently, so we don't print numbers that go stale — there's a free tier or preview to start with, and the paid tiers are listed on the official site (the button above).
Is it safe to connect my accounts to Koinly?
Use read-only API keys — reporting and tracking tools only need to see your history, never to move funds. A read-only key is harmless even if leaked.
The bottom line
The default choice for messy, multi-platform histories — broad, polished, and ATO-fluent.
Scored 8.6/10 by our methodology — independent of any commission.
