ATO Community response to MtGox CGT event

Here's an interesting post the ATO community made a while ago

They appear to claim if you were paid in BTC in Australia. You still have to pay full capital gains on the value when you got them

So people hoping to avoid paying CGT by not selling BTC would be shit out of luck if this information is correct

If you got $100 of BTC or Cash, you have to pay $100 of CGT

Your new cost basis for those BTC though now just becomes $100 for when you sell them later

As far as I can tell only official "ATO Certified" responses may be honored by ATO.

But the website claims that all responses are moderated by the ATO.

It's unusual they expect you to pay CGT even if you haven't sold.

Perhaps just a mistake in the response?
