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.
