How Does Crypto Tax Work?
What Is HMRC’s Position on Crypto Tax?
Contrary to the initial interpretation, HMRC now explicitly states that the buying and selling of cryptoassets is not comparable to gambling but that any gains are taxable and likely subject to Capital Gains Tax.
What Are the Taxes on Cryptocurrency?
Despite financial institutions not recognising cryptoassets as money or currency, HMRC treats them similarly to shares, which means they will be subject to Capital Gains Tax and/or Income Tax, depending on the type of transaction.
How Is Crypto Tax Calculated?
The type of tax you’ll pay depends on the specific transactions you make with your crypto. For capital gains exceeding the £6,000 tax-free allowance, you’ll pay 10% or 20% tax. Additional income from crypto, surpassing the personal allowance, incurs tax rates between 20% to 45%, determined by your Income Tax band. Notably, for the 2024-2025 financial year, the tax-free allowance for capital gains has been reduced to £3,000. And remember, you should always report your losses as these can be utilised against future gains.
Can HMRC Track Crypto?
HMRC has the capability to track cryptoasset transactions effectively using information from exchanges like crypto.com, through a data-sharing program with UK exchanges and through ‘Know Your Customer’ information provided during exchange or wallet sing-ups. HMRC have started sending out ‘nudge’ letters to prompt individuals and businesses to report their crypto activity.
