Transparent cryptocurrency tax advisory packages and service fees
Crypto tax advisory should not come with unexpected surprises or ambiguous billing. Ausxconi operates on transparent, upfront pricing tiered according to the technical complexity and transaction volume of your portfolio. From straightforward investor annual returns to enterprise Web3 corporate accounting and urgent ATO audit representation, our engagement models provide total fee certainty from day one.
Governed by Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) professional standards. No hourly meter overruns.
How we determine your service engagement tier
Unlike traditional accounting firms that charge pure hourly rates with open-ended meters, Ausxconi scopes every portfolio based on objective technical criteria. We evaluate total annual transaction counts, the number of active wallets and exchanges, and protocol complexity (such as cross-chain bridging, DeFi liquidity pools, algorithmic trading, or node operations). This allows us to provide a fixed-fee proposal before work commences.
Annual Transaction Volume
We ingest raw on-chain transaction data, centralized exchange fills, and OTC trade logs. Portfolio size alone does not govern the fee; the sheer density of taxable disposals, swaps, and gas token burns dictates the computational verification tier.
Multi-Chain & Exchange Breadth
Moving capital across centralized platforms (Coinjar, BTC Markets, Binance, Kraken) and non-custodial networks (Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base) creates internal asset tracking gaps that require forensic wallet linking and balance matching.
Protocol & Smart Contract Depth
Engaging with liquidity pools (Uniswap v3, Curve), yield farming, cross-chain bridge collateral, liquid staking (Lido), or perpetual futures (dYdX, GMX) triggers complex revenue characterization under Australian statutory tax law.

Specialized Advisory & Institutional Retainers
Beyond standard individual tax returns, Ausxconi provides structured legal representation, statutory superannuation accounting, and corporate Web3 treasury retainers for Australian entities.
Specialized Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) Compliance
SMSF trustees require specialized reporting that satisfies independent superannuation audit standards. Our SMSF package includes full end-of-year digital asset financial statements, transaction reconciliation, market valuations on June 30, and dedicated support for your fund's independent auditor to ensure adherence to the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act.
- Strict sole purpose test and investment strategy asset verification
- June 30 independent market valuation dossiers for crypto holdings
- Direct collaboration with your fund's approved ASIC/SMSF auditor
Corporate Web3 and Startup Advisory Retainers
Australian startups, DAOs, and Web3 development teams can engage Ausxconi on monthly or quarterly advisory retainers. These retainers encompass ongoing chart-of-accounts maintenance, native token payroll calculations, contractor payment withholding, stablecoin treasury reconciliation, and corporate board reporting.
- Ongoing multi-sig treasury monitoring and monthly balance reconciliations
- PAYG withholding and superannuation calculations for token-paid staff
- Corporate tax return (Form C) and statutory R&D tax incentive liaison
ATO Audit Representation and Voluntary Disclosures
Engagements involving formal ATO audit inquiries, discrepancy warning letters, or historical voluntary disclosures are scoped based on the years under examination and the severity of the case. We work on a hybrid fixed-stage model: an initial fixed fee for data reconstruction and discovery, followed by structured pricing for formal technical submissions and direct negotiations with the ATO.
- Direct correspondence management under registered Tax Agent powers
- Remission applications for ATO shortfall penalties and general interest charges
- Historical multi-year reconstructive lodgments back to 2017
Hourly Technical Advisory & Second-Opinion Consultations
For investors or corporate executives who require targeted strategic guidance without a full tax return lodgment, Ausxconi offers hourly consultations. This service is ideal for pre-relocation residency planning, high-value asset disposal timing, structuring new token agreements, or reviewing work prepared by other accountants.
- Australian tax residency determinations and CGT event I1 analysis
- Second opinions on aggressive or uncertain third-party tax positions
- Formal written memorandum of advice signed by senior tax specialists
Why Automated Software Alone Fails ATO Scrutiny
Off-the-shelf tax software frequently misclassifies internal wallet transfers as taxable disposals, assumes zero-cost basis for bridged assets, and neglects Section 118-20 anti-overlap provisions. Our advisory packages bridge the gap between automated raw calculations and legally defensible Australian tax filings.
