To ensure we are all ready for the Crypto Tax deadline fast approaching 31 January 2022, we invited Tax Specialist at Accointing, David Canedo, and Personal Tax Director at BKL, Chris Smith. to help us navigate towards this season.
This webinar explored some of the challenges and confusion surrounding crypto taxes, specifically for the UK, and where DeFi and NFTs will go into this, plus what changing regulation will bring.
And for the majority of us (who still have a few things to do), David and Chris share how exactly we can get a clear actionable list for the upcoming Crypto Tax deadline in the UK with an added bonus of Accointing hosting an #AMA towards the end.
