  • The regulations apply to popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin.
  • Guidance for tax obligations on cryptocurrency transactions is available on the UK government website.

HM Revenue and Customs has announced new requirements for individuals holding cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin. Starting in January 2026, people must share their personal details with each crypto service provider they use to ensure they are paying the correct taxes.

Officials from HMRC stated these measures are designed to help uncover cases where individuals try to avoid paying taxes due on their cryptocurrency profits. The changes will require all crypto account holders to comply with stricter documentation rules, including providing their identifying information to platforms.

According to HMRC, “these new reporting requirements will help to unmask those trying to evade tax due on their profits.” The move is expected to encourage more transparency within the rapidly growing sector of digital asset trading.

The regulations cover anyone who buys, sells, or receives cryptocurrency, regardless of transaction size. People uncertain about their specific tax duties can find information and tools to determine if they owe tax when using or selling crypto on the official government website.

Cryptocurrency, often referred to as digital money or virtual tokens, can be exchanged or traded online. The government is increasing oversight of these assets to prevent potential tax losses as more individuals invest in crypto.

Further details about the new reporting process and how to comply will be published by the authorities closer to the January 2026 implementation date. Those affected are advised to review the current guidance and prepare for the upcoming requirements.
