Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay taxes?
Yes. You will have to pay taxes if your profit exceeds £ 12,300. If your profit is higher, additional fees will be added.
What kind of taxes do I have to pay?
You will pay CGT (Capital Gains Tax) if you sell, trade, or offer cryptocurrencies. Individuals will be required to pay Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions on crypto assets they receive from mining, airdrops, or transaction confirmation.
Do I have to pay taxes for mining cryptocurrencies?
If you mine at a micro level, you will have to pay tax on your declared earnings. If you have a small business in cryptocurrency mining, you will pay fees as a small business.
When are you exempt from paying taxes?
You will not pay taxes when you buy cryptocurrencies, hold them, move them between virtual wallets, when giving them as a gift to your spouse/husband or when you donate them to charity.
Can HMRC track crypto transactions?
HMRC may investigate your tax affairs if you have invested in crypto assets, cryptocurrency, and virtual currencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Ripple (XRP).

value of the transactions in pound sterling
the cumulative total of the investment units held
bank statements and wallet addresses (these are needed for an inquiry or review)
