UK will fine crypto traders who fail to report taxes starting January 2026, under new rules.
Cryptoasset Reporting Framework aims to enhance tax transparency and assist HMRC in tracking unreported profits from cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Service providers must collect personal details from users to comply with the rules, with fines of up to £300 for non-compliance, expected to generate £315 million by April 2030.
The initiative is part of the government's efforts to close tax loopholes and ensure fair tax payment, despite facing criticism from some crypto users for being one-sided.
