FAQ

Common questions about crypto tax in NZ

General information about crypto and NZ tax. Not tax advice — for your own situation, check ird.govt.nz/cryptoassets or a registered tax agent.

Do I need to pay tax on cryptocurrency in New Zealand?
Generally, yes. IRD treats cryptoassets as property. Gains from disposing of crypto are usually taxable, as is crypto received as income from mining, staking, airdrops, or services. Some situations (e.g., personal-use rules) are narrower than people expect.
What crypto activities are usually taxable in NZ?
Disposing of crypto for fiat, swapping one crypto for another, spending crypto on goods or services, receiving crypto as payment, mining or staking rewards, airdrops, lending/yield, NFT sales (as creator or trader), and most DeFi events.
How much does crypto tax help cost in NZ?
Self-service crypto tax software is typically NZ$49–299 per year. A chartered accountant handling a return is commonly NZ$350–600 per hour; total fees depend on complexity. Boutique advisory work for businesses is higher again.
What records do I need to keep?
Date and time of each transaction, asset, quantity, NZD value at the time, counterparty wallet or exchange, transaction hash where available, and the reason for the transaction. Most people use crypto tax software to assemble this from exchange exports.
Can I claim losses on crypto investments?
Generally, yes, if the activity is on revenue account or you carry on a business of dealing. Losses must be supported by evidence. Treatment depends on your specific situation — talk to a registered tax agent.
When is the deadline for crypto tax filing?
Standard NZ tax year ends 31 March. Returns are due by 7 July if filed without a tax agent, or by 31 March of the following year if your tax agent is on the extension-of-time list.
