In brief<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • The UK government\u2019s Budget for the coming fiscal year has confirmed that UK-registered trading platforms will have to record personal details of their customers.<\/li>\n
  • Info to be collected includes cryptocurrency transactions and tax numbers, with the government expecting to raise an extra $417 million in tax by April 2030.<\/li>\n
  • Experts say this will create costs for exchanges that will be passed onto customers, and that some traders may seek out noncompliant platforms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    The UK government has confirmed in its 2025 Budget that it will implement new rules forcing cryptocurrency traders to report personal details to trading platforms from January 1 of next year.<\/p>\n

    First introduced as part of an international agreement with the OECD, the Cryptoasset Reporting Framework<\/a> (CAFR) requires cryptoasset service providers to provide HM Revenue & Customs with information on their customers, including cryptocurrency transactions and tax reference numbers.<\/p>\n

    Published on Wednesday, this year\u2019s Budget<\/a> confirms that \u201cinformation for first reports to HMRC will be collected from 1 January 2026 and reported to HMRC in 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Investors who don\u2019t provide required details with exchanges could be fined up to \u00a3300 ($397), while exchanges will be fined up to \u00a3300 per unreported customer.<\/p>\n

    HMRC will then use provided information to check completed tax returns, identifying any individuals who haven\u2019t correctly reported their cryptocurrency profits.<\/p>\n

    By doing this, the revenue service forecasts that it will raise up to \u00a3315 million ($417.3 million) in tax by April 2030, which HMRC\u2019s press release from July<\/a> frames as enough money to \u201cfund more than 10,000 newly-qualified nurses for a year.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Jonathan Athow, HMRC\u2019s Director General for Customer Strategy and Tax Design, explained in July that the updated framework doesn\u2019t impose a new tax on cryptocurrency investment, but merely ensures greater compliance with the existing capital gains tax.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThese new reporting requirements will give us the information to help people get their tax affairs right,\u201d he said. \u201cI urge all cryptoasset users to check the details you will need to give your provider.\u201d<\/p>\n
