View video transcript

Here's an inside secret about cryptocurrency tax in the UK. Accountants are terrified of it. I went to a recent accountancy conference, and the moment cryptocurrency tax came up, you could see the panic in their eyes.



Over the last five years, we've given more than 4,000 free consultations about personal tax and business accounting. Since launching our cryptocurrency service last year, we've helped hundreds of people with their cryptocurrency tax in the UK.

So look, here's the five ways that were different from some of the other services that you might see in the uk.

Number one, when you book in a free consultation with us, you'll speak to a UK cryptocurrency specialist, someone that understands the market and can give you some free advice for 20 minutes rather than a general salesperson at some of these larger accountancy practices.

Number two, we've tested a lot of different cryptocurrency tax filing software, and we decided to partner with Koinly. It has more than 800 integrations, and we can also provide a free license for you, which will allow you to import 25,000 transactions when you sign up for one of our cryptocurrency packages.

Number three, our dashboard makes it really simple to get started. You can sign up online, add your basic income details and personal tax details, and then we can start to take the steps for filing a self-assessment tax return.

Number four, we can handle multiple years of your personal tax returns. We found that about 70% of clients typically realize that they needed to do this a while ago, so they need to file multiple returns.

Number five, clear and simple communication. You can chat to us on WhatsApp, email, live chat, call us or book time with your dedicated crypto accountant. Be a little bit careful with who you decide to use for your cryptocurrency tax return. With us, you can get a free 20 minute consultation, speak to a specialist and understand what you need to do.

UK Crypto Tax FAQs

Everything you need to know about our filing your crypto taxes in the UK. Can't find the answer?

Contact us
  • Do I include crypto assets on my self assessment tax return?

    To include crypto assets on your self-assessment tax return, you need to convert your holdings into Pound Sterling. Since crypto assets have varying exchange rates and are not recorded in Pound Sterling, accurately calculate the equivalent value in GBP for each type of crypto asset you hold. Additionally, if you've traded one crypto asset for another, determine the exchange rate and convert that to Pound Sterling as well.

  • What if I received a 'nudge' letter?

    From 2022, HMRC has started sending out nudge letters to taxpayers they believe may have undeclared gains from crypto assets. It advisable to come forward and disclose your gains following the receipt of a nudge letter rather HMRC chasing you. Consider consulting a crypto accountant to get the best advise.

  • Can I claim for crypto losses on tax in the UK?

    Yes, you can claim crypto losses on your taxes in the UK. Cryptocurrency losses can be used to offset gains, reducing your overall tax liability. If your losses exceed your gains, you may carry them forward to future tax years to offset any gains during that period.

    Certainly, when discussing crypto assets in the UK, it includes both cryptocurrency as well as NFTs (non fungible token) kind of digital artworks or other unique digital assets.

  • What are the tax implications of holding cryptocurrencies in the UK?

    In the UK, holding cryptocurrencies have various tax implications. When you buy, sell, or trade crypto, you need to pay Capital Gains Tax. If you receive crypto as payment or through mining, it is considered as an income and subject to Income Tax.

  • Can you help with past crypto tax returns?

About UK Cryptocurrency Taxation & Professional Accounting

What is Cryptocurrency Tax Accounting?

Cryptocurrency tax accounting is all about tracking, managing, and analysing digital asset transactions to stay on the right side of HMRC regulations. HMRC’s Cryptoassets Manual makes it clear: they see cryptoassets as property, not currency, for UK tax purposes.

A professional approach to crypto tax accounting includes:

  • Recording every crypto transaction with proper GBP valuations
  • Applying HMRC's complex share pooling rules
  • Precisely calculating capital gains and losses
  • Identifying income and capital treatment
  • Preparing fully compliant HMRC tax returns (SA100 and SA108)
  • Keeping thorough audit trails

Do I Need to Pay UK Tax on My Cryptocurrency?

Yes, you are required to pay tax on your cryptocurrency holdings and transactions. Gains from cryptocurrency investments, including disposals and trading profits, are subject to capital gains tax (CGT) or income tax. It's important to accurately report these transactions and calculate the associated tax liabilities to comply with HMRC regulations.

What is Considered a Disposal of Cryptoassets?

  • Selling Cryptocurrency: When you sell your digital currency for traditional fiat currency or another cryptocurrency.
  • Trading Cryptocurrency: Exchanging one cryptocurrency for another, resulting in a gain or loss.
  • Spending Cryptocurrency: Using your digital assets to purchase goods, services, or other assets.
  • Gifts or Donations: Transferring cryptoassets as gifts or donations to others.
