The tax division of the government, HM Revenue, and Customs stated that this exemption is a significant component in bringing international investors, ensuring international investors won't be pulled into U.K. tax merely by choosing U.K.-based investment managers. This exception has been expanded to encompass cryptocurrency assets so that funds incorporating them aren't deterred from choosing U.K. managers.
The nation already provides resident cryptocurrency dealers with tax advice. HM Revenue and Customs released a consultation in July to get opinions from investors and industry experts regarding how to tax decentralized financing (DeFi).
The comprehensive Financial Services and Markets Bill, which, if approved into law, would give regional financial authorities greater control over cryptocurrencies, is now being discussed in Parliament. In the upcoming weeks, the U.K. Treasury also intends to begin a consultation concerning how to govern the cryptocurrency industry.
