UK Government to Start Cracking Down on Crypto Tax Avoidance in January

HMRC has released the framework that crypto exchanges must follow in 2026 as it begins to crack down on digital asset taxes.
What to know:
- Starting January 1, 2026, U.K. crypto exchanges must collect detailed transaction data from users to comply with new HMRC rules.
- The collected data will be used by HMRC to cross-check tax returns and ensure compliance, with sanctions for non-compliance.
- The U.K.'s new guidelines align with the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, promoting transparency in the digital asset market.
U.K. resident users of major cryptocurrency exchanges will kick off the New Year with detailed transaction data automatically collected as the country’s authorities prepare to crack down on tax avoidance.
According to the new HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) rules, crypto exchanges operating in the United Kingdom are required to start collecting the full transactional record from Jan. 1, 2026, of all their U.K. customers.

“With platforms set to keep a record of this information from January 1, 2026, ahead of sharing it with HMRC the year after, the tax office will be able to cross-check tax returns against the data they’ve received,” Seb Maley, CEO of tax insurance provider Qdos, told FT.
British tax experts say that this gives crypto users, traders, and investors until the end of 2026 to get their digital asset affairs in order to avoid sanctions.
The new HMRC guidelines align the U.K. with the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), which is designed to bring greater transparency to the fast-growing digital asset market and is already being rolled out in the European Union, Canada, Australia, Japan, and South Korea, among others.
Crypto exchanges, classified as "Reporting Cryptoasset Service Providers," must send the information in full detail directly to the HMRC in 2027. That data will enable the HMRC to determine the amount of tax crypto users must pay. The HMRC will sanction non-compliant platforms.
“This marks a major shift in how crypto trading is monitored from a tax perspective,” Maley told FT.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be
The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
