Good day, I am quite new to the world of cryptocurrency and am interested in understanding the tax implications. I understand that crypto transactions are taxable in the UK, but I'm not quite sure how the system works. Could you please enlighten me on how much profit I can make from crypto before I have to pay taxes? Also, could you explain the specific tax rules and regulations regarding cryptocurrency in the UK? Thank you for your time and assistance.

    The annual tax-free allowance for CGT is £6,000. This means that gains up to this amount are not taxed.

    For gains exceeding the tax-free allowance, individuals will be taxed at a rate of 10% up to the basic rate tax band.
