Cryptocurrency Guide

A common belief is that cryptocurrency is money and can be used like money without any tax consequences.

The reality is that, despite the name, cryptocurrency is not considered to be money or currency for tax purposes. It’s not treated in the same way as fiat currencies such as the GB £, Euro or US $. Cryptocurrency and other crypto assets are classed as a type of property and treated in a similar way to shares. This means that crypto asset transactions need to be considered for tax.
