CGT = Capital Gains Tax
There is ZERO chance that HMRC has decided some random alt coin is free from CGT.
Does it apply to SAFEMOON too? I remember you spamming groups about that sh**coin in the last bullrun.
Stop making stuff up, cheers4 -

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....
Implementing section 751 (b) would mean there would be no CGT payable.
If the OP doesn't pay CGT they retain more of the profits of sale.
Apologies if you still can't follow but I'm not sure how I can simplify it any further for you.0 -

This is incorrect. CGT is still fully payable on capital gains from sales of crypto assets.

(Hopefully the OP feels his question has been answered so it doesn't matter that their thread has been derailed by this comedy godl.)3
