Cryptographic mining

Earning crypto by validating transactions; income at GBP value when received.

Cryptographic mining is earning crypto rewards by validating blockchain transactions. UK tax treatment: income tax on the GBP value at the time you receive the reward; CGT later when you sell.

Hobbyist miners use the Trading Allowance (£1,000); professional miners are full self-employed.
