Taxation of Stablecoins: Virtual Roundtable
HMRC has opened a Call for Evidence on how stablecoins should be taxed in the UK.
Under current rules, stablecoins are treated like any other cryptoasset.
With their role expanding across wholesale settlement and retail payments, HMRC is reviewing whether that framework still fits.
Should you attend?
If you're a founder building with stablecoins, an investor with exposure to the sector, a tax or legal advisor fielding client questions, or a policy lead at a trade association, academic institution, or think tank, this should matter to you. The same applies to anyone issuing, holding, or advising on stablecoins in a professional capacity.
Topics we'll cover:
Context to current tax treatment of stablecoins for individuals and companies
Administrative burdens created by the existing approach
Friction points firms are encountering in practice
Wholesale versus retail payment use cases and their tax implications
Where the framework needs to change to support responsible growth
How to feed your input into the formal industry submission
Why attend?
If you have unanswered questions about how the current rules apply to your business, where the grey areas sit, or what HMRC is likely to change, this is the room to raise them. We'll be pulling the discussion into a collective response that feeds directly back to HMRC.
The outcome of this consultation will set the UK's stablecoin tax framework for years. Make sure you get your say.
