    Crypto assets and cryptocurrency tax: the rules

    Crypto and digital assets have really rocked the boat in the past decade. Do you have to pay tax on something that, technically, doesn’t exist? Well, yes, you do, but what and how much varies enormously. If it’s crypto tax advice you need then you‘ve come to the right place.

    Let’s start by taking a look at the whole crypto tax subgenre of personal wealth and then gradually get into why you need to abide by crypto tax rules before touching on why you might need a crypto tax specialist sooner than you realise.

    Cryptocurrency and taxes

    In layman’s terms, crypto and digital asset tax is the tax you pay on any profits you make from buying, selling, or trading cryptocurrencies or digital assets. Whether you’re an investor, trader or business, just like with traditional investments, any gains you make are subject to taxation.

    The tax laws and regulations surrounding cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether) and digital assets vary from country to country – and even from state to state in some countries. Whether your crypto asset and cryptocurrency activities amount to an income that should be taxed or not depends upon several, often complex factors.

    Why should I hire a crypto assets tax native?

    This is why it’s crucially important to consult with a tax professional who is knowledgeable in your territory. In addition to helping you keep detailed records of all your transactions – including the purchase and sale prices and any fees or commissions paid – they can use their intimate knowledge of the local crypto tax laws to ensure there aren’t any hiccups or irregularities.

    In fact, let us prove it to you. If you think your crypto trading means that you might have to declare them in your tax returns then get in touch. We’ll put you in contact with a crypto tax whizz in your territory who just might be the difference between you paying over the odds or landing yourself in trouble with the authorities.

    Crypto Tax FAQs

    How do I pay taxes on my crypto profits and digital assets?

    You’ll need to determine your taxable gain or loss, report it on your tax return, and pay any taxes owed. Keeping detailed records of all your transactions is essential to accurately calculate your gains and losses and avoid any potential legal issues.

    What tax would I pay on my crypto profits and digital assets?

    This all depends on the country or jurisdiction those assets are held in. Tax laws and regulations surrounding cryptocurrencies and digital assets are complex and vary from country to country. Some countries may have different tax rates or treat these assets differently for tax purposes.

    How would I be taxed on crypto mining?

    If you earn income through cryptocurrency mining, you’ll need to report that income on your tax return. If you’re mining cryptocurrencies as a business, you may also be subject to an additional self-employment tax. Again, however, the exact tax treatment of mining income depends on the tax laws and regulations in your country or jurisdiction.

    Are Bitcoin profits taxable?

    In most countries, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are treated as property for tax purposes. This means that any gains you make from buying, selling, or trading Bitcoin are subject to short or long-term capital gains tax.

    Andy Wood

    Founder & Director

    Andy joined the bar in 2019 after learning his ‘trade’ in large, international accountancy firms including the Big 4.

    Over a decade ago (2011 to be precise), hoping that some of the magic dust from these entrepreneurial clients had rubbed off on him, he established his own tax advisery business.

    His clients, as well as the aforementioned entrepreneurs, also include high-net-worth individuals, sports persons and entertainers and private companies.

    He decided to establish Tax Natives due to his first hand experience of regularly having to quickly find reliable and knowledgeable tax advisers around the globe to assist his clients.

    He is a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation and the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (“STEP”).

    Having grown up in Castleford, West Yorkshire, Andy has rugby league in his DNA. He is also a Yorkshire cricket fan and long-suffering Everton supporter.

    His guitar playing ambition exceeds his proficiency.
