What this site is
Coin Tax Atlas is a country-by-country reference for crypto taxation, currently covering the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States and Germany. It exists for one kind of reader: someone who already holds cryptoassets and needs to understand how their country taxes them. We do not teach investing, recommend coins or forecast markets. We do one thing — untangle “which events are taxed, on what basis, with what records, filed by when” — and point back to the official source each time.
We are independent compilers. We are not a tax authority, and nothing here represents the position of HMRC, the ATO, the IRS or the BMF. On these English pages we also promote nothing: no exchange, no wallet, no product — see the disclosure statement.
How we work
Every page follows the same discipline — it is the whole reason this site is worth referring to:
- Official sources first: rates, allowances and deadlines come from tax-authority guidance or legislation wherever possible, with links listed at the end of each page.
- Every figure carries its year: tax law moves annually, so each country page states its applicable year (UK 2025/26, Australia 2025–26, US 2025, Germany 2025).
- No personal calculations: we provide the framework, never “what you owe” — that depends on your total income and status, which is professional-advice territory.
- Uncertainty stated plainly: where the official position is unclear or shifting, the page says “it depends” or “check the official guidance” rather than inventing a confident answer.
- Substance over volume: pages are as long as their topic requires, and no longer.
Update rhythm
We re-verify each country page around its tax year, and in between whenever something structural moves — a budget changing rates or allowances, CARF and DAC8 milestones taking effect. Every page shows a “last updated” date so you can judge freshness. Even so, always check the authority’s current pages before filing — that is precisely why we link them.
What we never do
- Predict prices or promise returns.
- Give tax, legal or investment advice to individuals.
- Pose as a tax authority or an exchange.
- Publish impersonations, exaggerations or scare content.
- Place affiliate links, referral codes or promotions on these English pages.

In one sentence
We aim to be accurate, transparent and sourced — but the official position always wins, and your own situation belongs with a licensed tax professional.
