Binocs launches crypto tax tool for investors in the UK

Crypto investments have piqued the interest of UK citizens, increasing their exposure to this asset class. Along with the increase in crypto investments, taxation regarding this asset class has also been in the works. While the rules and regulations keep on changing, it is important to know that all crypto gains are taxed in the UK.

All UK taxpayers need to pay tax on all crypto transactions in the UK. You need to know what transaction tax needs to be paid and how to report it under Self Assessment Taxation. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the regulating body responsible for tax, payments, and customs treats crypto as a capital asset when gains are observed on it.

What are the regulations for crypto taxation in the UK?

All crypto transactions will come under Capital Gains Tax or Income Tax. There are no separate crypto asset taxation regulations, but they must be included in your tax filings. The tax band in the UK is 

Tax rate

Taxable income

Band

0%

Up to £12,570

Personal allowance

20%

£12,571 - £50,270

Basic rate

40%

£50,271 - £150,000

Higher rate

45%

£150,000+

Additional rate

A taxpayer in the UK needs to start by figuring out what income tax band they fall under. Post that, add the additional income via crypto means. If taxpayers still fall under the tax band, that’s the tax rate individuals will pay on their overall income.

If the additional crypto income pushes you into the next tax band, that is the income on which tax needs to be paid.
