I'm a bit confused about the tax regulations regarding cryptocurrencies in the UK. Do I need to declare my crypto holdings when filing my taxes? I've heard different things from different sources, so I'm hoping you can provide some clarity. I understand that crypto is a complex and evolving field, but I just want to make sure I'm complying with the law and not getting into any trouble. Can you explain the current tax treatment of cryptocurrencies in the UK and what I need to do to ensure I'm on the right side of the law?

HMRC, the UK's tax authority, does not classify cryptoassets as currency or money. This distinction is important as it impacts how cryptoassets are taxed.

Nor does HMRC consider buying or selling cryptoassets to be gambling. This means that profits or gains derived from cryptoasset transactions are taxable in their view.

The taxable nature of cryptoasset profits or gains aligns with the treatment of other assets, such as stocks or shares. Traders must therefore declare and pay taxes on any profits they earn through buying and selling cryptoassets.

Cryptoassets, like stocks and shares, have fluctuating values denominated in 'normal' currency. This volatility is a characteristic shared with traditional financial assets.
