Good day, I have a question regarding cryptocurrencies. Recently, I received a gift of some cryptocurrency from a friend. Now, I'm a bit confused about the tax implications of this. Do I need to pay tax on the value of the gifted crypto? If so, how do I calculate the taxable amount? Also, are there any specific regulations or guidelines I should be aware of in this matter? I would appreciate it if you could provide me with some clarity on this matter. Thank you. Do I pay tax on gifted crypto?

If you receive crypto assets as a gift, there are no Capital Gains Tax (CGT) implications at that time.

However, if you subsequently dispose of or engage in transactions with the crypto assets, a CGT event may occur.

As an organisation accepting donations in crypto assets, it is crucial to ensure that your organisation has the capacity to receive and handle cryptocurrencies.
