Where to add details of gains made from cryptocurrency

mcgtech

I am attempting to declare profits made on cryptocurrency for the 2020-2021 tax year in my self assessment online form, but once in the 'Capital gains section' I am not sure which section to complete as none seem appropriate: Residential property and carried interest, Other property, assets and gains, Listed Shares, Unlisted Shares, Non-resident Capital Gains Tax (NRCGT) on UK property or land and indirect disposals.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If you don't get an answer here, you can call HMRC on 0300 200 3310 to ask this question.

I would like to know the answer to this question too, so please post back what HMRC tell you if you do end up calling them.

Other property, assets and gains. Cryptocurrency is an asset.

See https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-need-to-pay-tax-when-you-sell-cryptoassets for guidance on the gain.

Thanks Jeremy.
Would 'Number of disposals' correspond to total Bitcoin sold during the period?

No - this refers to the number of transactions. Pooling rules apply as with shares.
