Features of Syla (Card Format / Box Format)

ATO Crypto Tax Report

Syla generates a comprehensive crypto tax report PDF that contains everything you or your tax agent needs to lodge your tax return with the ATO. The report covers a full summary of all your tax outcomes across capital gains, ordinary income, trading stock, and more, and is designed to meet ATO requirements directly.

Lowest Tax First Out (LTFO)

Syla's exclusive LTFO parcel selection method is a proprietary tax optimisation algorithm developed by its Australian tax team. It automatically selects the most tax-efficient cost basis parcels when calculating your capital gains, guaranteeing the lowest legally permissible tax outcomes. This method is exclusive to Syla and not available on any other crypto tax platform.

All Historical Financial Years Included

Once you have an active Syla subscription, all your historical financial years and reports are included at no additional cost. There is no need to pay extra to access past years.

Unlimited Integrations

Import an unlimited number of exchanges, wallets, and blockchains. Syla supports over 500 integrations including API sync, OAuth sync, wallet sync, and CSV file imports, covering a wide range of Australian and international platforms.

Automatic Transaction Classification

Syla's Auto-Identifier and Smart-Logic engine, powered by AI and Fuzzy Matching technology, automatically detects, classifies, and interprets your transactions. This includes complex events such as chain splits, airdrops, chain migrations, DeFi interactions, and NFT activity, without requiring manual categorisation.

Crypto Data Model (CDM)

Syla is underpinned by a proprietary Crypto Data Model that captures every layer of transaction data with complete accuracy, even for highly complex on-chain activity. This ensures no taxable event is missed and every transaction is treated correctly under Australian law.

Precise Tax Treatment for All Activity Types

Syla applies the correct Australian tax treatment across a wide range of activity types, including capital gains (Division 100, 108, 110 of ITAA 1997), ordinary income, CGT discount (Division 115), derivatives (Division 6.5, 15, 25), foreign currency gains (Division 775), trading stock (Division 70), and non-assessable income (Division 6.23).

Portfolio Tracking and Performance Analysis

Beyond tax, Syla lets you monitor your entire crypto portfolio in one dashboard. View overall holdings, track recent transactions across all platforms, analyse portfolio performance, and see unrealised gains and losses in real time.

Support for Up to 100,000 Transactions

Syla supports up to 100,000 transactions per account, with automatic transaction consolidation and aggregation that reduces the total count for high-volume users.

Accountant-Ready Reports

Syla includes a dedicated partner program for tax accountants and agents. Reports are designed to satisfy the reasonable standard of care obligations under subsection 30-10 of the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (TASA), making them suitable for professional use in client engagements.

Australian-Based Customer Support

Syla provides live chat support during business hours (9am to 6pm Brisbane time), email support, and an assisted file import service where the Syla team manually adds support for exchange CSV files not yet natively covered.

How to Use Syla with Your MEXC Account

Connecting your MEXC trading history to Syla is straightforward. Follow these 3 steps to get your ATO-ready crypto tax report:

Tips: Where a direct API connection between MEXC and Syla is available, you can link both accounts using your MEXC API key for automatic, real-time syncing with no manual CSV exports needed. Syla only requests read-only API access and will automatically reject any keys with elevated permissions.

• Upload your CSV file or connect via API.
• Syla will automatically parse your full transaction history, including spot trades, and any staking, earn, or airdrop activity recorded on MEXC, and classify each transaction using its Auto-Identifier engine.

1. Review your transactions and download your tax report

• Once your transactions are imported, review them in the Syla dashboard and make any edits or reclassifications needed.
• Syla will automatically calculate your capital gains, ordinary income, CGT discount eligibility, and total tax outcomes in AUD using comprehensive historical price data.
• Upgrade to a paid plan to download your ATO Crypto Tax Report PDF, then provide it to your tax agent or use it to self-lodge your return via myTax.

What is Lowest Tax First Out (LTFO) and how does it save me tax?

LTFO is Syla's exclusive tax optimisation method that automatically selects the most tax-efficient cost basis parcels when calculating your capital gains.

Yes. Syla supports NFTs and DeFi including on-chain swap detection, liquidity pool transactions, and other complex protocol interactions. Staking rewards, airdrops, and mining income are also supported and automatically classified as assessable income in line with ATO guidance. For niche protocols, transactions are imported and may require manual reclassification.

Is Syla only for individuals, or can businesses and SMSFs use it too?

Syla supports all Australian entity types including individuals, companies, trusts, and self-managed super funds (SMSFs). Tax calculations and report formats are tailored to the entity type selected, ensuring the correct tax treatment and reporting structure is applied in each case.
