Crypto owners with reportable gains or income for the 2025 to 2026 tax year must still file their Self Assessment return and pay tax due by Jan. 31, 2027.<\/p>\n<p>HMRC separately estimated that its crypto compliance and education work generated \u00a3168 million of additional Capital Gains Tax during 2024 to 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The capital-gains figures also exclude some other crypto-related tax liabilities, including income from employment, mining, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/uk-moves-to-regulate-crypto-services-such-as-staking-stablecoins\/\">staking and lending<\/a>, which can fall under Income Tax rules instead.<\/p>\n<p>The new statistics therefore provide HMRC with a declared baseline before standardized third-party reporting begins.
