As a UK resident, I'm quite curious about the taxation of cryptocurrency gains. Do I need to pay tax on any profits I make from trading cryptocurrencies? If so, how does the tax system work in this regard? Are there any specific rules or regulations I should be aware of? Could you please provide a detailed explanation of the tax implications of cryptocurrency trading in the UK?

Cryptocurrency earnings are taxable income, meaning they are subject to income tax rates depending on the tax band of the individual. In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, these rates range from 0% to 45%.
