The problem with the UK is that the HMRC have basically published a few paragraphs a few years ago and now leave it to everyone else to interpret them.

Now we know what your malfunction is.  The UK was one of the first nations to be targeted for white genocide by jews with massive 3rd world immigration.  All inhabitants quickly either converted to hard right nazis or doubled down on cuckoldism to worship your conquerors.  It's clear which path you took.

Speaking of tax, my fellow Canadians may benefit from this:

http://www.taxtips.ca/taxrates/bc.htm

What a stupid bureaucratic mess of a breakdown.  Anyway, for smaller amounts, Capital Gains isn't as horrendous as I thought.

The scoop is I pay( net of graduated levels) 10% on 40k, ~ 12% on 100k,  ~15% on 150k,  ~19% on 250k.  Max rate is 24.9% over 205k.  So as long as I don't want to take any capital out, it is reasonable (I was under the impression that it was a flat 25% give or take) for living expense amounts, up to a decent level by my standards.  Might even stay in Canada for a while longer.

bitcoin will make a move up or down soon it seems, triangle is ending

We had to wait until after New Years day before bitcoin started pumping last year. The Chinese probably had to get over their hangovers before they felt like starting trading again.

I tend to agree with you.

Having paid for this advice I am reluctant to pay again unless it was for someone or a firm specialising in crypto.
Anyone know of such a person / firm.

Whoever you went to see, I've never, ever heard any 'advice' along those lines. Sounds like total bilge to me. The problem with the UK is that the HMRC have basically published a few paragraphs a few years ago and now leave it to everyone else to interpret them.

This geezer - https://www.reddit.com/user/krissaroth  I think is an accountant and has written quite a bit in r/bitcoinuk. Maybe it's worth PMing him. If he himself doesn't do crypto he might know someone who does.

Lots of other threads about it in there too.

Thank you for the advice, I'll do a bit more research.

I'm not a Cliff High fan, but kind of interesting in March 2017 his web bot crap called for $13-14k bitcoin and $4800 gold (with silver having much larger gains) by March 2018:

http://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-will-triple-gold-in-2018-silver-achieves-parity-with-gold-clif-high

Bitcoin already made it's move, here comes silver and gold starting to ramp up now.

Just had a meeting with my accountant today.
If your sales exceed 4 times CGT allowance ie 4X £11,100 £44,400 ye 2016 then even if your gain is under the annual allowance and no CGT is payable you still have to submit every single transaction. FFS.

Exceptions are sales reinvested same day and sales bought back up to 30 days later.
The transactions must be matched up, the paperwork involved is the stuff of nightmares.

As you say if trading is your business it's treated as income and is subject to income tax top tax rate 40% plus NI at 9% then 2% above £45k.

Yet if BTC collapsed and you wanted to offset the losses against your other capital gains, HMRC would suddenly declare BTC trading as a highly risky enterprise like gambling where no taxes are payable on wins or reliefs on losses.



I intend to only submit transactions to and from Fiat currency.

And this '4x allowance' thing?  Not in any tax rule I have seen.

Get a second opinion, there is no real guidance yet that is this specific on crypto from HMRC.

Accountants are assuming things, but they MAY not be right.

Get yours to show you HMRC guidance specifying what you say above.  A capital gain under the limit is not reportable AFAIAC and if it is over it, it is still simply a capital gain and chargeable at 20%.

You invested X, you sold Y - you pay the difference, I reckon.  And capital gains are only taxable when cashed in IMHO. 

I am not an accountant - but I asked three, and they all gave varying advice, except that they all said you need to say what you orginally paid for the BTC you are now selling.  I realise that ain't easy - but it is possible to do most if you have exchange history.  For Gox, you cannot - but neither can they prove what you spent unless your bank statements show it.

I tend to agree with you.

Having paid for this advice I am reluctant to pay again unless it was for someone or a firm specialising in crypto.
Anyone know of such a person / firm.

It seems that HMRC can treat crypto just like any other currency. Any sales transaction is treated as a taxable event, whether you transfer your fiat to your bank account or just leave it on the exchange.

Fortunately last year I was under the limit and so it does not have to be declared on return.
A nightmare avoided as I have no chance of submitting all the transactions made as my Armory wallet was lost when hard drive failed. Although coins are recovered the transactions, purchases goods etc were not. Just as well!

This tax year I will be hit with CGT however I have mostly hodled during this bull run so few transactions and fairly straight.

I just posted this as many small timers will be finding themselves in this position for the first time and should give it some thought in the coming months.

I think Jimbo Toronto has the right idea by buying at ATM even if paying % over odds. And keeping dealings private.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
I sincerely believe we're headed back down to the 12000 range for the new year. Any objections?

Plenty of objections. But no problem should that happen. As long as we remain above $10k, it is all part of a welcome pause.


Below $10k is o.k. too... It just seems that it is going to be quite difficult to get there.

$11,060 would be a double bottom, and there had already been an attempt to go below $12k several days ago... So currently, seems that there is decent support for anything above $10k, $11k and even $12k... What we gonna do?  Pray for more down, or just accept that there continues to be decent upwards and buy pressures, even at these GREAT bargain prices.    Cheesy

There is absolutely zero retail demand for "Ripple".

There is absolutely zero retail demand for many of the thousands of penny stocks out there, but many of them get pumped to the moon too.

So? How is Ripple (or any other shitcoin or ICO token) any different?
