No — receiving crypto from mining, staking rewards or airdrops is generally taxed as income at the point of receipt; CGT then applies separately when you later dispose of those coins.

Всичко за Crypto Capital Gains Tax
📋Представяне+
HMRC treats most cryptoasset disposals — selling, swapping between coins, or spending crypto — as a capital gains event, not income. Your gain is proceeds minus allowable cost basis, combined with any other capital gains in the year, then reduced by the annual exempt amount (£3,000 for 2025/26). The remaining taxable gain is charged at 18% within your basic-rate band and 24% above it, with your other taxable income determining how much of the basic-rate band is already used up.
💡 Добри практики
- Swapping one cryptocurrency for another is a disposal for CGT purposes, even though no cash changes hands — many investors miss this.
- Keep a full transaction history including cost basis for every acquisition — HMRC's 'pooling' rules match disposals against your average cost basis, not specific coins.
- Losses can be carried forward and offset against future crypto or other capital gains — report them to HMRC even in a loss-making year to preserve the claim.
🔢 Конкретен пример
£20,000 proceeds and £12,000 cost basis, no other gains, £50,000 other taxable income: £8,000 gain less the £3,000 exempt amount gives £5,000 taxable, split across the basic and higher CGT rate bands.
