Sound familiar?
Still not sure what tax you owe on your crypto?
Crypto taxation in the UK is more involved than most people expect. Every disposal — whether you sold, swapped, spent, or gifted — is a potential Capital Gains Tax event. Add staking rewards, airdrops, and DeFi activity, and the number of transactions that need reconciling across multiple exchanges adds up quickly. Most people only realise how complicated it is when the Self Assessment deadline is three weeks away.
- Dozens of transactions across multiple exchanges with no clear CGT figure
- Unsure whether staking rewards, airdrops, or DeFi income need reporting
- Received an HMRC crypto nudge letter and not sure how to respond
What sorted looks like
Your transaction history reconciled, your gains calculated correctly, and your Self Assessment filed on time. You know what you owe before HMRC sends anything. If they do make contact, it is handled.
- All disposals reconciled and your CGT figure confirmed well in advance
- Staking, airdrop, and DeFi income classified and reported correctly
- HMRC correspondence handled directly, with a clear response prepared
- Fixed monthly fee — no surprise bills when tax season arrives

Capital Gains Tax Calculation
Every disposal across every exchange and wallet is reconciled and your CGT liability calculated using HMRC’s share pooling rules. You get a clear figure before the deadline, not a guess. That includes coins sold, swapped, spent, and gifted.

Why clients choose us for crypto tax
There are plenty of generalist accountants who will file a Self Assessment. Fewer who already understand how crypto is taxed before you start explaining it.
No explaining crypto from scratch
HMRC’s crypto guidance, share pooling rules, the distinction between income and capital gains events — you will not need to brief us on how any of this works. We work with crypto investors and traders and understand the tax position for each transaction type. You explain your portfolio; we handle the rest.
HMRC compliance without the guesswork
Crypto disclosures done incorrectly attract attention. Done correctly, they close the matter. We calculate gains using the correct HMRC methodology — section 104 pooling, same-day and 30-day rules applied where relevant — so your return is filed accurately and there is less to worry about afterward.
Questions answered the day you ask
Crypto tax questions tend to arrive at inconvenient times — after a large trade, when a nudge letter lands, or before a significant disposal. You will get a clear answer the same day, in plain English, without waiting a week for a callback. Clients consistently mention this as the thing they value most.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are set up within a few days. The process is designed to require as little from you as possible while we get everything in order.
Get in touch
Call, email, or use the contact form — we reply the same day. Tell us roughly what your crypto situation looks like: exchanges used, approximate number of transactions, any HMRC contact received. No preparation needed for this conversation.
Free initial conversation
We discuss your portfolio history, identify what needs to be reported, and give you a clear picture of what is involved. You leave the call knowing what your options are and what the likely tax position looks like — which is more than most people know going in.
We handle the calculation
You share your transaction exports from each exchange and wallet. We reconcile the data, apply HMRC’s methodology, and calculate your gains and income figures accurately. If records are incomplete, we will tell you what is needed and how to retrieve it.
Filed, confirmed, done
Your Self Assessment is filed with everything reported correctly. You receive a copy, know exactly what you owe, and have a clear record for future years. HMRC correspondence, if any, is handled. The next tax year starts with proper records already in place.
“We have been working with Hasan for almost a year. He’s been very helpful providing us with knowledge as new business owners. It’s great we can WhatsApp for general queries, making communication more efficient.”
Things people usually ask us first
Do you actually understand how crypto transactions are taxed — DeFi, staking, swaps, and all?
Yes. HMRC treats each disposal — whether you sold for sterling, swapped one coin for another, spent crypto, or received staking rewards — differently, and each event is handled under the correct rules. DeFi lending, liquidity pool activity, and airdrop income each have their own treatment under current HMRC guidance. You will not need to explain the basics before getting a useful answer.
What does crypto tax accounting cost, and what is included?
Pricing depends on the volume of transactions, the number of exchanges and wallets involved, and whether catch-up work is needed for prior years. We provide a fixed quote after the initial conversation so there are no surprises. The quote covers reconciliation, CGT calculation, and Self Assessment filing — not an hourly rate that grows as the work does.
My records are a mess — missing transactions, closed exchange accounts, and years I have not reported. Can you still help?
This is not unusual. Many clients arrive with incomplete records, particularly from exchanges that have since closed or changed ownership. We work with what is available, identify the gaps, and help you reconstruct a defensible transaction history. Voluntary disclosure for prior years is an option if gains have been under-reported, and doing it proactively is considerably better than waiting for HMRC to ask.
Is there a long-term contract? What happens if I leave?
No long-term contract. If you decide the arrangement is not working, you leave with clean records, all your files, and nothing owed beyond work already completed. We would rather earn your continued business than lock it in contractually.
I have received an HMRC crypto nudge letter. Do I need to act, and can you help?
HMRC has been using third-party data from exchanges to identify UK holders who may not have reported gains. If you have received a nudge letter, it is worth taking seriously — ignoring it tends to make things more complicated. We review what has and has not been reported, calculate any liability accurately, and prepare the response or voluntary disclosure. The process is generally more straightforward than people expect once the numbers are properly established.
Can you help me plan future disposals to reduce the amount of Capital Gains Tax I pay?
Yes. Knowing your current position allows for some straightforward planning — timing disposals across tax years, making use of the annual CGT allowance, and considering whether crypto held in different structures makes sense for your situation. This is the kind of conversation that is more useful before a large disposal than after it.
Crypto tax sorted, before the deadline.
