Sound familiar?

Not sure what your crypto gains actually mean for tax?

HMRC treats cryptocurrency as a capital asset, which means every disposal — sale, swap, spend, or gift — is potentially a taxable event. Most people discover this later than they should. Records spread across multiple exchanges, missing cost basis data, and DeFi transactions that do not fit neatly into any category make it genuinely difficult to work out what you owe.

  • Transactions scattered across Coinbase, Binance, Kraken and hardware wallets with no clear record
  • Unsure whether HMRC pooling rules, same-day rules, or the 30-day rule apply to your disposals
  • Self Assessment deadline approaching with no idea what figure to report — or whether to report at all

What sorted looks like for crypto investors

Your transaction history is reconciled, your gains calculated under the correct HMRC rules, and your Self Assessment filed accurately. You know your liability in advance and you are not guessing.

  • All wallets and exchange histories reconciled into one clean capital gains report
  • HMRC’s Section 104 pool, same-day and bed-and-breakfast rules applied correctly to every disposal
  • Self Assessment completed and submitted with your crypto gains accurately declared
  • Fixed, transparent fee — no surprise charges when your transaction count is higher than expected

What you get

Everything your crypto tax situation needs

From transaction reconciliation to HMRC filing, the service covers the whole picture — not just the easy parts.

01

Crypto Capital Gains Calculation

Every disposal across every exchange and wallet is identified, matched, and calculated under HMRC’s approved cost basis rules. Allowable costs — including exchange fees and acquisition costs — are applied so your liability is accurate, not inflated. You receive a clear gains summary you can rely on.

Included as standard
02

Self Assessment Filing for Crypto

Your Self Assessment return is prepared and filed with crypto gains, income from staking or mining, and any other relevant crypto activity reported in the correct boxes. HMRC’s guidance on cryptocurrency is followed throughout. Your filing deadline is managed — you will not be chasing it at midnight in January.

Included as standard
03

Crypto Tax Planning and Review

If you are holding significant unrealised gains, there are legitimate steps that can be taken before a disposal to reduce your liability — annual exempt amount usage, timing, and structuring. This is worth reviewing before you sell rather than after. Planning after the event tends to be considerably less useful.

Why Edward Harris

Why clients choose us for crypto accounting

Most accountants know the basics. Fewer have worked through the specifics of multi-exchange reconciliation, DeFi income, and HMRC’s cryptocurrency manual in practice.

🔗

No explaining crypto from scratch

You will not need to explain what a Section 104 pool is, how exchange settlement works, or why your Coinbase CSV does not match your bank statement. The technical groundwork is already understood. That saves you time and means you get useful answers rather than general ones.

📋

HMRC rules applied correctly

HMRC’s cryptocurrency guidance is detailed and frequently updated. The same-day rule, the 30-day bed-and-breakfast rule, and the treatment of staking rewards, airdrops, and DeFi income all have specific implications. These are applied accurately — not approximated. Your filing reflects what HMRC actually expects.

📅

Your liability known well in advance

There is no particular reason to learn your crypto tax bill in late January. With records reconciled and gains calculated before the year end, you know what is coming and have time to act on it. That is a considerably more comfortable position than finding out when the deadline is close.

Getting started

Up and running in four straightforward steps

Most clients go from initial enquiry to having their records in hand within a few days. The process is designed to be low-effort on your side.

1

Get in touch — no cost

Call 0161 706 1523, email info@edwardharris.co.uk, or use the contact form. We reply the same day. The initial conversation is free and without pressure — you are not committing to anything by making contact.

2

We review your situation

You share your exchange history, wallets, and any previous filings. We assess the volume and complexity, identify any gaps in the records, and give you a clear fixed-fee quote. No surprises once work begins.

3

We handle the reconciliation

Transaction data is pulled together, disposals are identified and matched under HMRC rules, and your capital gains report is prepared. You do not need to do the calculations — that is the part you are paying us for.

4

Filed, confirmed, done

Your Self Assessment is completed, reviewed with you, and submitted. You receive confirmation of the filing and your tax liability is known. Next year, the process is considerably easier because the records are already in order.

Questions

Things people ask before getting started

Do you understand DeFi, NFTs, staking rewards, and transactions across multiple exchanges?+

Yes. HMRC’s cryptocurrency manual covers these specifically, and they each have distinct tax treatments. Staking rewards are generally treated as income at the point of receipt. NFT disposals are capital events. DeFi liquidity provision and token swaps are treated as disposals of the original asset. The reconciliation process accounts for all of these rather than grouping them under a catch-all category.

What does crypto accounting cost, and what is included?+

Pricing depends on transaction volume and complexity — a straightforward year with one exchange and a handful of trades costs considerably less than a multi-wallet DeFi portfolio spanning three years. You receive a fixed-fee quote before any work begins, so the cost is agreed upfront. The fee covers full reconciliation, gains calculation, and Self Assessment filing. There are no add-on charges for questions during the process.

My records are incomplete — I have missing exchange data and some transactions I cannot trace. Can you still help?+

This is more common than most people expect. Exchange APIs do not always go back far enough, some platforms have closed down, and not everyone kept records at the time. We work with whatever data you have, identify gaps, and apply HMRC’s accepted approaches for incomplete records. It is better to work with what exists and file accurately than to delay filing because the records are not perfect.

Is there a long-term contract? What happens if I want to leave?+

No long-term contract. If you are on a monthly arrangement and it is not the right fit, you give notice and we hand over your records in full. You leave with everything in order and nothing outstanding. The expectation is that the service should be worth staying for on its own merits.

I have not declared crypto gains in previous tax years. Is it too late to fix that?+

HMRC’s Cryptoassets Disclosure Facility exists precisely for this situation. Voluntary disclosure — reporting omissions before HMRC identifies them — results in significantly lower penalties than being found out. We can review prior years, quantify any undeclared gains, and manage the disclosure process on your behalf. Doing nothing when there is an undeclared liability is the riskier option.

Can anything be done to reduce my crypto tax bill before I sell?+

In some cases, yes. The annual capital gains exempt amount can be used strategically, losses can be crystallised to offset gains, and timing disposals across tax years can make a material difference. This is worth discussing before you sell rather than after. Once a disposal has occurred, the options are narrower. A conversation before the event costs nothing and can change the outcome.
