Complex data needs careful tax analysis.

Cryptoasset activity can span exchanges, wallets, chains and decentralised platforms. Software is useful, but its output depends on the quality and classification of the underlying data. Sat Tax combines record review with tax analysis and keeps the crypto position connected to the individual’s wider affairs.

How we can help

Four areas of specialist cryptoasset tax support

01

Crypto Tax Returns

Calculation and reporting support for cryptoasset disposals, income and other relevant activity within Self Assessment.

02

Crypto Reconciliation

Structured review of exchange and wallet data, transfers, classifications, gaps and software outputs before figures are relied upon.

03

Crypto Disclosures

Support correcting earlier tax years where cryptoasset income or gains were omitted or inaccurately reported.

04

HMRC Crypto Enquiries

Assistance understanding HMRC requests, assembling relevant evidence and preparing clear, supportable responses.

Typical circumstances

When specialist crypto support may be appropriate

01

Activity is spread across several exchanges and wallets and the calculated figures do not reconcile.

02

Transactions include staking, DeFi, NFTs, bridging, airdrops or other activity requiring classification.

03

Earlier-year crypto gains or income may not have been reported correctly.

04

HMRC has requested records, calculations or explanations relating to cryptoasset activity.

Our approach

A clear and controlled process

STEP 01

Understand the position

We establish the relevant tax years, platforms, wallets, transaction types, existing reports and any HMRC deadlines.

STEP 02

Review and prepare

Data is gathered and reconciled proportionately, tax treatments are considered and calculations are prepared or reviewed.

STEP 03

Explain and complete

The resulting position, assumptions, limitations and required reporting or response are explained before completion.

Information that may be needed

Good information supports a defensible result.

Crypto work is usually most efficient when complete source data is retained. Screenshots or summary tax reports alone may not show enough to verify the underlying position.

  • Exchange transaction-history exports
  • Public wallet addresses and wallet exports
  • Existing crypto tax software files or reports
  • Bank statements or fiat funding evidence where relevant
  • Prior tax returns and earlier calculations
  • HMRC letters, disclosure references and relevant correspondence
