Frequently asked questions

In the context of accounting and tax, blockchain advisory in Australia refers to the professional services and guidance provided to individuals and businesses regarding the establishment of a blockchain based business and the financial reporting, regulatory and income tax implications of doing so.

The role of a blockchain advisor may include:

Assessing Financial Reporting Standards: Advisors can evaluate the potential impact of Australian and International Financial Reporting Standards and how they apply to Cryptocurrency and Blockchain related businesses. For example, businesses required to maintain IFRS 15 Revenue Recognition policies are required to review the performance obligations of the revenue they generate and report on the revenue in the financial statements in accordance with their policy. 

Regulatory Obligations: Businesses operating a financial services business in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry may be required to hold an Australian Financial Services License and register with the Australian Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC). Ensuring your business is compliant with financial services law and AML/CTF regulations is imperative to sustainability of their business. Blockchain advisors have the necessary connections to ensure compliance.

Income Tax Compliance obligations: Cryptocurrency and Blockchain businesses are operating in a new technological industry which is often misunderstood by more traditional business and tax advisors. It is important to engage with a reputable and experienced blockchain advisory firm that understands the technology and can talk to the various challenges faced by the industry, most importantly a firm that can offer insights on the tax and regulatory aspects related to blockchain businesses.

Engaging a blockchain advisory specialist can provide your business with the knowledge, expertise, and guidance required to successfully navigate the regulatory and legislative landscape. 

By engaging with an advisor early, you can have the piece of mind that the manner in which you have structured your business operations is consistent with the industry standard. 

Furthermore, you will get the most up to date understanding of the income tax implications of your operations from an Advisor that is familiar with the industry and can speak the same language you do. 

If your business has grown quicker than you anticipated, a blockchain advisor will have a network of regulatory contacts that will ensure your business and personal interests are protected now and into the future.

Blockchain advisory firms understand the nuance of different investments and business operations and are armed with the most up to date tax and regulatory information to ensure you are compliant with Income Tax Law in Australia 

Legal and Regulatory Partnerships: Blockchain advisory firms often have partnerships or collaborations with legal firms specialising in blockchain and cryptocurrency regulations. These partnerships allow them to provide comprehensive legal advice and support businesses in addressing specific legal and regulatory challenges.

By leveraging the expertise of blockchain advisory firms, businesses can navigate the evolving regulatory landscape, ensure compliance with relevant laws and guidelines, and mitigate potential risks associated with blockchain implementation.
