From cointelegraph.com: A recent Australian court ruling determined that Bitcoin should be classified as money rather than a taxable asset, which could lead to up to $640 million in potential tax refunds.

This decision challenges the Australian Tax Office’s longstanding classification of cryptocurrencies as capital gains tax assets, potentially exempting Bitcoin transactions from taxation.
