What is involved

We gather your transaction history across exchanges and wallets, calculate gains and losses under HMRC's rules, and prepare the figures for your tax return or a disclosure. For businesses, we provide accounting, tax and structuring support.

01

Situations we help with

Common situations we advise on.

You swapped one token for another and assumed there was no tax

Swapping one cryptoasset for another counts as a disposal for capital gains tax, valued in pounds at the time, even if you never cashed out. Spending crypto on goods or services is a disposal too.

We work out the gains on every swap and report them on your return.

Your exchange is sharing your details with HMRC

Under new international reporting rules, exchanges now collect their users' details and transactions and pass them to tax authorities, including HMRC. HMRC already writes to people when its data does not match their returns.

We check your position against what HMRC is likely to see, and put things right before it asks.

You earn staking, lending or DeFi rewards

Depending on how the arrangement works, rewards can be taxed as income or as gains. Moving tokens into a lending or liquidity protocol can itself count as a disposal.

We look at how each arrangement works and apply the right treatment to it.

You lost money in a collapsed exchange or a scam

Depending on what happened, you may be able to claim a loss, for example where tokens have become worthless. HMRC does not usually accept a loss for tokens that were stolen.

We work out what can be claimed and make the claim on your return.

You did not report crypto in earlier years

HMRC has a dedicated route for disclosing unreported crypto gains and income. Coming forward before HMRC contacts you usually means lower penalties.

We calculate what is owed and make the disclosure for you.

You have thousands of transactions across exchanges and wallets

Transfers between your own wallets are not disposals, but missing data often makes tax software overstate gains. HMRC's matching rules also apply to each token.

We reconcile your exchanges and wallets to build an accurate gains and losses position.

What our clients say

“Having worked with RMHO for several tax seasons, I cannot recommend their service enough. I came to them with a complex situation and, frankly, without knowing where to start. Rob and his team guided me through the reporting process with clear instructions and were always available to answer my questions. Being able to reach them by phone, email or WhatsApp was hugely important to me, and the team consistently delivered. They clearly set out what we were working on and what the next steps would be, so I always knew what was happening and why. You can trust RMHO to handle your requirements, and I would not hesitate to recommend them.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to declare crypto to HMRC?
If you are a UK resident with crypto gains or income, you generally need to report it. We help you understand your obligations and prepare the information needed for your tax return.
How are crypto gains taxed in the UK?
Crypto is generally treated as a capital asset, so gains are subject to capital gains tax — but the rules can be more complex for trading activity or specific tokens. We help you work out the correct treatment.
Can you help with a large number of transactions?
Yes. We are experienced in handling high-volume transaction histories, exchange-to-exchange transfers and historic activity to calculate gains and losses accurately.
Do you advise crypto businesses too?
We do. We support crypto and blockchain businesses with accounting, tax planning, structuring and financial reporting.
What if I have not declared crypto in previous years?
You can usually put things right through HMRC's cryptoasset disclosure service, part of its Digital Disclosure Service. We help you gather the information, calculate what is owed and make a complete and accurate disclosure.
How do you handle transactions across multiple exchanges and wallets?
We reconcile activity across exchanges, wallets and chains to build an accurate gain and loss position, including transfers that should not be treated as disposals.
Can you help set up accounting systems for a crypto business?
Yes. We advise on systems and controls that give reliable records and reporting for crypto and blockchain businesses as they scale.
