When do I pay tax on crypto in the UK?
UK law requires you to pay tax on crypto whenever you make a disposal, which includes selling crypto for cash, trading one coin for another, or even using it to buy goods and services.
You also need to pay tax on certain types of crypto income, such as staking rewards, mining, or airdrops.
The confusion around crypto taxes
The rules may sound simple, but applying them in practice is where most people struggle.
Without a clear record of every transaction, it becomes nearly impossible to calculate what you actually owe.
Misunderstandings lead to missed deadlines, incorrect returns, and potentially expensive penalties from HMRC.
