Tax return - United Kingdom - File your tax return

Follow this guide to file your crypto tax return for the United Kingdom.

📝 Description

Learn how to report your cryptocurrency capital gains, losses, and income on the United Kingdom HMRC tax forms (SA108 and SA100) using your Waltio tax report.


⚠️ Warnings

  • Ensure you report capital gains and income in their respective sections; trading disposals go to form SA108, while passive income goes to form SA100.

  • Specific boxes (13.6, 13.7, and 13.8) relate to individual claims or prior real-time reporting that Waltio cannot track automatically and must be reviewed manually.

  • We do not provide informations for the Self-Employment form (SA103) as we only support individuals.

📂 SA108: Capital Gains and Losses

SA108 - Capital gains and losses from trades

Use form SA108 to declare capital gains and losses resulting from cryptocurrency trading (fiat disposals and crypto-to-crypto trades). Report these figures in the section titled Cryptoassets.

📂 SA100: Passive Crypto Income

SA100 - Passive crypto income
