I am leaving the UK but still hold crypto
The situation
Quinn is emigrating mid-tax-year and plans to keep crypto holdings.
Quick answer
UK tax on disposals while UK-resident generally still applies for that part of the year. Residence and domicile rules are complex — professional advice is essential before large disposals around a move.
What to do
- Document residence dates
- Complete disposals before leaving if advised
- Keep records for both UK and new country obligations
