ATO-only, priced for Australians

Our take
Syla is the specialist: built in Australia, for Australian tax, and nothing else. That focus shows up in two ways — plans priced well below the global tools for typical Australian transaction volumes, and a tax-optimisation engine (its "lowest tax first out" parcel selection) designed specifically around ATO parcel rules and the CGT discount.
It won't try to be your portfolio tracker or handle a US filing, and its integration list is shorter than Koinly's — focused on the platforms Australians actually use. For a locally-traded portfolio, it routinely produces the cheapest compliant result.
Before you pay
The parcel-selection optimisation is the quiet money-saver: choosing which parcels to treat as disposed (within ATO-compliant methods) can legitimately reduce your assessable gain, and Syla automates that decision. On multi-thousand-dollar gains, that's not a rounding error.
Who is Syla for?
✅ Good fit if…
- You trade on Australian exchanges and want the cheapest compliant report
- You want tax optimisation, not just tax calculation
- SMSF or company reporting formats matter to you
⛔ Look elsewhere if…
- You've used obscure international platforms — check the integration list first
- You have heavy DeFi/NFT history (Summ parses it better)
- You need any non-Australian tax output at all
Getting started with Syla
- 1 Connect everything — free
Link every exchange and wallet you've ever used via read-only API keys or CSV. Syla 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 Syla produce ATO-ready reports?
Yes — Syla 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 Syla 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 Syla?
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 value pick for Australian-only trading — and the optimiser can pay for the subscription by itself.
