Plain English
Four ideas worth carrying with you.
Disposals
A disposal is not only selling for pounds. Swapping, spending and gifting can also create a record that needs a date, a quantity and a sterling value.
Income-shaped activity
Some crypto arrives rather than being bought — rewards, incentives, payments for work. Where it came from usually determines which questions apply.
DeFi complexity
Lending, liquidity and protocol interactions can generate long chains of records. Reconstructing them later is far harder than capturing them as you go.
Business activity
Companies accepting or holding digital assets face corporation tax, accounting and VAT questions alongside ordinary bookkeeping.
