UK to Add Crypto Declaration in Tax Forms
U.K. taxpayers will have to separately report crypto assets on their tax forms in a move that is expected to raise an extra 10 million British pounds (US$12 million) per year for the public purse.
The move was announced by Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt in the annual budget on Wednesday.
“The government is introducing changes to the Self Assessment tax return forms requiring amounts in respect of cryptoassets to be identified separately,” to be introduced in the tax year that ends in April 2025, the U.K. Treasury said in a document published Wednesday.
