Let's say I deposit £1k on binance. Through many trades, I manage to work my way up to £10k.
Given that the capital gains allowance is £12,300 per year, can I just cash out £5k and put them in the bank?

My understanding is that, technically, crypto to crypto profits is taxable, and losses are deductible. Hence, all that actually matters is the difference between the amount you've put in vs. the amount you take out. If you put in 6K and take out 10K, that 4K profit is taxable, UNLESS you're under the 10.6K tax free allowance, in which case you pay 0 tax.

Please note I have not really done a thorough check and could well be wrong. If you end out seriously making it, just get an accountant.

I'm hoping I can pool profits. Someday I'll just cash out EVERYTHING, calculate my costs basis, take that away from my cash out value and pay capital gains on the difference.

I realise cashing out in Germany, Portugal etc is tax free. However, say I went to germany, stayed for x months, registered as resident, cashed out, filed tax return for that year (in germany) and returned to UK... would they demand taxes from previous years I'd held the crypto in the UK, BEFORE i went to germany? I've never cashed out, but have traded crypto to crypto, while residing in UK

Just a warning guys they're looking to squeeze more out of CGT. Expect them to come down on crypto because 1. the traders haven't really bothered in the past 2. the transaction history can be spotty
that allows them wide latitude to fuck us over so keep your eyes peeled. also they can come after you for these trades 20 years down the line

>Of course, this is crypto—exchanges, many of dubious quality, run by even more dubious individuals, often shut down and scrub their records clean.

Some EU countries are CG tax free on crypto cashouts. Germany and Portugal are completely tax free (if you're a resident when you cash out and haven't moved the crypto for a year). Not sure about Italy, although I doubt it, as I'd sooner go there than Germany. Just google it.

In Germany, you have to reside there 3 months before you can apply for residency. In theory you could rent a room, open a bank account, piss off back to UK, then 3 months later apply for residency in germany. Once you get the residency approved, you're a german citizen. You find an accountant there and file a tax return for the 2 million euros you just cashed into your german bank account. Tax would be zero. You send your 2M to your UK bank account, you go back to the UK and the UK taxman can't touch you, as you have paid all the taxes due for that accounting period (ie zero pc in germany).
It's a nice idea, but i've never met anyone who did it. We'll prob be the first...

I can’t tell if you have legit conviction. Based from your responses you seem relatively low IQ. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Hargreaves Lansdowne, if you have a UK pension you can get bitcoin exposure through the Swedish btc ETN, also investable as you will with your loose GBP. No ISA for you unfortunately with this instrument. Pay your tax or fuck off for 5 years.

That's irrelevant to crypto brainlet you can't have crypto in an ISA

I think everyone in this thread is seriously overestimating HMRCs ability to fuck you over. They are dependent on people living in fear and paying tax like a good little cuck but in reality they have very little power as long as you are clever about how you plan your trades and cash outs. DO NOT PAY TAX- you are supporting a corrupt system that wants you dead and replaced with niggers and shitskins

My advice:

Use decentralised exchanges like forkdelta (idex is OK but they make you KYC if you trade large volumes)
Wait for decentralised solutions to cash out large sums to fiat (linkpal etc)
Buy things directly with your crypto (gold and silver britannias are tax free when you sell), bullion, electronics
Get members of your family that you can trust to cash out below the annual CGT limit
Plan your cash outs to make maximum use of your allowances
Set up a company and pay yourself a salary in crypto
Claim you won your crypto on an online gambling site and cash out/use EV betting to cash out with a legitimate paper trail
Wait for fiat currency to collapse (this is unironically happening in the next 5 years)

There are so many options available to you. All are superior to paying tax to this corrupt government
