    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 details

    Those appear to be the only facts from your original post.  Do you have evidence from HMRC to support what you said?

    You seem to have missed including the link again - please tell us you're not referring to some American tax rules!

    Until such time that you can link to said instrument, I do not believe it exists for UK tax payers.

    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.

    Unfortunately the fake:// URL scheme didn't get traction.

    Not sure if this is a joke I don't get, but no HMRC instruments don't apply to American tax.

    You should always understand jokes you're telling, and they're always better if funny.

    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....
