Understand HMRC’s new crypto reporting rules (CARF) — clearly, calmly, and in plain English.
Why this program exists
From 1 January 2026, HMRC will receive direct reports from crypto exchanges under new CARF (Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework) rules. That means your trades, transfers, and holdings will automatically flow to HMRC — whether you realise it or not.
Most UK investors still don’t know what this means for them. This program clears it up so you can stay compliant, avoid nasty surprises, and plan your strategy with confidence.
What you’ll learn inside
- What CARF is — why HMRC is changing the rules, and how it works.
- What’s reported — which exchanges, assets, and transactions are covered.
- How HMRC will use the data — matching reports against your tax returns.
- Your obligations — records to keep, deadlines to meet, and common mistakes to avoid.
- Practical next steps — how to prepare now so you’re ready before January 2026.
