Question 1

Who is the summit for?

Accepted Answer

Investors, traders, accountants, advisers, finance teams, crypto businesses, compliance professionals and founders who need the UK picture explained clearly. You do not need a professional tax background to follow the programme, and dedicated tracks exist for practitioners who work with digital assets every day.

Question 2

Is the event free?

Accepted Answer

Registration for the core programme is free. If optional paid formats are added later — for example an extended workshop day — they will be announced separately and clearly priced. Nothing on this site should be read as a commitment to a paid ticket that does not yet exist.

Question 3

Do I need to own crypto?

Accepted Answer

No. Many attendees are accountants, advisers, finance professionals and compliance specialists who work with clients or colleagues holding digital assets. The programme is built to be useful whether you hold crypto personally or simply need to understand it professionally.

Question 4

Is this suitable for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Filter the programme by BEGINNER to see sessions written for people with no tax training. Advanced tracks run separately, so you can stay at the level that suits you without sitting through material that is either too basic or too technical.

Question 5

Is this tax advice?

Accepted Answer

No. The summit is educational. Sessions explain concepts, terminology, records and reporting in general terms. They do not assess your circumstances and are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your full position.

Question 6

Do you cover capital gains, staking, DeFi and airdrops?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as topics. Sessions describe how these activities generate records and what questions they raise. Treatment always depends on individual facts and circumstances, so the programme focuses on understanding and preparation rather than outcomes for any one person.

Question 7

What is CARF?

Accepted Answer

The Cryptoasset Reporting Framework is an OECD-based reporting framework for in-scope cryptoasset service providers. In the UK, collection obligations begin from 1 January 2026, with first provider reports to HMRC due between 1 January and 31 May 2027 covering calendar year 2026. It does not mean everyone automatically pays more tax.

Question 8

Is HMRC involved?

Accepted Answer

No, unless a specific speaker or session is explicitly confirmed and labelled as such. This is an independent educational event. We do not describe ourselves as an official HMRC event and we do not speak on behalf of HMRC.

Question 9

Can accountants and crypto businesses attend?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are dedicated tracks for accountants and advisers, and for crypto businesses covering corporation tax, VAT questions, digital-asset payments, accounting and compliance workflows.

Question 10

Is it an online conference?

Accepted Answer

The summit is an online conference. Access details will be emailed to registered attendees once the date is confirmed.

Question 11

Are recordings available?

Accepted Answer

To be confirmed. On-demand recordings are under consideration but not yet committed. Registered attendees will be told directly once a decision is made, rather than discovering it after the event.
