noitsnotme said:ADA is the Cardano cryptocurrency but I can’t see HMRC saying that a specific currency is exempt from CGT under any circumstances. Sounds more like something you hear from the bloke down the pub, unless mooneysaver can present further evidence.
Best to ignore anything they claim.5 -
mooneysaver said:HMRC have confirmed as long as you convert to ADA and hold for more than 180 days in a tax year before selling there will be no CGT arising. Search section 751 (b) instrument for the full details0

My guess is you invested heavily in Cardano in 2021 and are now trying to ramp it up in the hope you can reverse some of your paper losses.1 -

One more time:
Please clarify exactly what instrument you're referring to with your vague reference to "Search section 751 (b) instrument for the full details" - a link would be nice but the verifiable name of a real act or regulation ought to do.
Bonus points for actually highlighting how it would be relevant to OP....4
