I did quite a bit of NFT flipping in 2025 some wins, but mostly losses on collections that tanked. Are NFT losses treated the same as other crypto disposals for capital gains purposes in the UK? Can they offset gains from trading altcoins or Bitcoin? Has anyone successfully claimed NFT losses on their self-assessment and had it accepted by HMRC without pushback? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything before filing. Thanks!
I keep everything on a Ledger hardware wallet and trade across multiple chains (ETH, Polygon, Solana, etc.). Looking for tax software that integrates well with Ledger Live exports and handles UK capital gains rules properly (same-day/bed-and-breakfast rules, pooling, etc.). I've tried CoinTracker and Accointing in the past, but ran into missing transactions on certain chains. What are people using successfully in 2025 for accurate UK reports? Bonus if it handles staking and DeFi reasonably well. Thanks!
