Details

The crypto world is still a relative novelty, Bitcoin having been launched in 2009. It has introduced its own completely new vocabulary, from Airdrops and Blockchains to Stablecoins and Yield Farming.

As the amounts of money at stake have soared, the world’s tax authorities have been playing catch-up. They are working out how to apply centuries-old concepts to the new realities that challenge even such fundamentals as the nature of “property” or “money”.

In this book, the author explores how established principles of UK taxation – e.g. trading or investment, the nature of income, the location of assets, loss reliefs, other reliefs – are properly applied to the fast-moving crypto world. The second edition has been greatly expanded (from 339 to 527 pages), with correspondingly fuller coverage of the practicalities of giving correct tax advice to clients with cryptoassets.
