Crypto tax help for Birmingham
Birmingham, the UK’s second city, has a deep professional and SME base and a fast-growing Web3 community. We work with Birmingham traders, founders and company directors who need crypto handled properly alongside the rest of their tax, whether that is a personal Self Assessment or crypto held inside a limited company.
We work with Birmingham clients remotely, which for crypto is a strength, not a compromise. The whole engagement runs on secure file sharing and video calls, so you are not couriering bank statements across the city. You get a named specialist, not a call centre, and the same person handles your reconciliation and your filing from start to finish.

The Birmingham cases we see most
Birmingham clients tend to hold portfolios alongside a salary or a contracting company. These are the three situations we handle most.
Side-hustle investors
A salaried job plus a crypto portfolio that quietly grew. Once gains pass the £3,000 annual exempt amount, Self Assessment becomes a legal obligation even if you have never filed before. Our deadlines guide sets out when registration and filing fall due.
Contractors with limited companies
Plenty of Birmingham contractors ask whether their company should hold the crypto. Companies pay Corporation Tax, get no annual exempt amount, and moving personal coins into your own company is itself a disposal at market value. Our guide to crypto in a limited company covers the trade-offs before you commit.
Gifts within the family
Helping children onto the housing ladder with crypto, or moving coins between spouses. Spouse transfers are tax-neutral, gifts to anyone else are disposals at market value even though no money changes hands. Our gifting guide explains both sides.
Birmingham crypto tax questions we hear every week
Do I need a crypto tax accountant based in Birmingham?
You need a specialist more than you need a postcode. Everything runs over video calls and secure file sharing, and you deal with the same named specialist from reconciliation to filing. We work with Birmingham and West Midlands clients regularly.
How much does a crypto tax accountant in Birmingham cost?
Most engagements fall between £400 and £1,200 plus VAT depending on the volume and mess of the history. You get a fixed quote after a free 30-minute review, and you pay nothing until you accept it.
I only ever swapped one coin for another. Do I still owe tax?
Very likely yes. Swapping crypto for crypto is a disposal for Capital Gains Tax, even though no pounds ever reached your bank. This is the single most common misunderstanding we correct. Our crypto gains tax guide walks through how each swap is taxed.
Can I give crypto to my partner or children tax free?
Transfers to a spouse or civil partner are on a no gain, no loss basis. Gifts to children or anyone else are disposals at market value, so a large embedded gain can trigger CGT on a gift. Timing and the annual exempt amount matter, which is where planning helps.
