The world of crypto assets is fast-moving, complex, and often misunderstood from a tax perspective. This webinar, led by Jamie Nuttall (Director of Crypto Taxes at Myna), will provide practitioners and professionals with a clear, practical foundation in the taxation of digital assets. Drawing on years of hands-on experience, Jamie will explore not only the technicalities but also the common pitfalls, client challenges, and practical solutions that crypto tax technicians need to be aware of.

Key features:

  • Understanding the Role: What is expected from a crypto tax technician in today’s landscape.
  • Tax Treatment Fundamentals: CGT vs IT, current HMRC guidance, and the emerging CARF framework.
  • Breaking Down Protocols: Navigating NFTs, coins, tokens, and how different assets are taxed.
  • Pain Points and Pitfalls: Compliance checks and triggers, badges of trade, beneficial ownership, airdrops, and HMRC’s letters of enquiry.
  • Technology in Practice: How software is used, its limitations, and strategies for accurate data gathering.
  • Practical Insights

The session will include practical examples to demonstrate how various crypto activities are treated for tax purposes, including:

  • Staking, mining, and bot trading
  • Handling airdrops and their tax implications
  • Negligible Value Claims and Tax Loss Harvesting

By the end of the session, attendees will have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of crypto asset taxation, be aware of key risks and compliance triggers, and be equipped with practical techniques for handling complex client scenarios.

This webinar is designed for accountants, tax advisors, compliance professionals, and finance leaders who want to build confidence in tackling the challenges of crypto assets.
