UK authorities are cracking down on crypto tax evasion through a new reporting framework that will require crypto investors to provide personal data starting January 2026.
Investors failing to comply risk fines up to £300, while service providers could face penalties for inaccurate reporting.
The initiative aims to raise up to £315 million in tax revenue by 2030 to fund public services, align with OECD standards, and combat tax evasion internationally.
The UK's crypto regulatory overhaul includes upcoming rules by HMRC and plans by the FCA to establish a more comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets.
