I'm quite curious about the taxation policies for day traders in Australia. As a beginner in this field, I'm trying to understand the financial obligations that come with trading cryptocurrencies. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing how the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) treats day trading activities. Do day traders need to pay taxes on their profits? If so, how are these taxes calculated? Are there any specific tax deductions or allowances available for day traders? I'd appreciate it if you could provide a detailed explanation of the taxation rules and any relevant resources that I could refer to for further information. Thank you.

Day trading losses can be tax-deductible, which means you can reduce your taxable income by the amount of losses incurred.
