UK to defer Capital Gains Tax on qualifying crypto lending and liquidity pools from 2027

The UK government plans to defer Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on qualifying crypto asset lending and liquidity pool transactions from April 6, 2027. Under the new HMRC framework, these transactions will be treated on a "no gain, no loss" basis. This means tax will typically be deferred until the assets are economically disposed of, rather than being triggered when cryptoassets are lent or deposited. The measure aims to align tax treatment with economic substance and reduce administrative burdens. It covers single crypto asset lending/borrowing and Automated Market Making (AMM) arrangements. The policy follows years of industry consultation and is expected to affect around 700,000 individuals.
