Expert Tax Support for Crypto Asset Holders in the UK
The rapid rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins has created new opportunities—and new tax challenges. If you’ve bought, sold, traded, mined, or earned income from crypto assets, understanding your UK tax obligations is essential. That’s where we come in.
Why Crypto Asset Holders Choose DRS
At DRS, we specialise in helping individuals and businesses navigate the complex and evolving tax landscape surrounding crypto assets. HMRC now treats most crypto transactions as taxable events, and failure to comply can lead to penalties, interest, or investigations.
Whether you’re a casual investor, a high-frequency trader, or a DeFi enthusiast, we provide clear guidance and bespoke tax solutions tailored to your activity and goals.
We partner with some of the leading providers of Crypto based asset reporting services including Koinly and Recap.
