#英国首发加密资产应税收益统计
On 27th day, the UK HM Revenue & Customs (#HMRC ) officially released the country’s first-ever official statistics on taxable gains from crypto assets. The data show that during the 2024 to 2025 tax years, across the UK a total of 17,600 people reported gains from the disposal of cryptocurrency, with the total disposal value reaching £13.8 billion. This generated up to £1.38 billion in taxable capital gains.
A key highlight of this set of statistics is that, for the first time, it enables precise tracking through a dedicated section for crypto assets in tax returns. The data reveal an extreme concentration of returns: among all filers, only 240 people (about 1.4%) reported individual capital gains exceeding £1 million. However, this small group together reported as much as £717 million, accounting for more than half of the total profit amount. In terms of gender and ethnicity, the group reporting crypto gains is overwhelmingly male (about 87%), and the overall age profile is significantly skewed toward younger people.
The analysis indicates that, as the UK begins phased implementation of the OECD’s “#加密資產申報框架 (CARF)” from 2026 onward, HMRC is expected to obtain user transaction data directly from major crypto exchanges for cross-matching starting in 2027. By building transparent reporting channels and strengthening audits, the authorities will continue to tighten tax compliance oversight for digital assets.
