Tax Regarding Transferring Crypto Assets Between Wallets

Is transferring crypto between wallets taxable? Whilst you should not pay taxes when it comes to transferring crypto assets between wallets or exchanges, it is not quite this simple as the transactions also include transfer fees and liquidity, which can be confusing. That being said, there are instances when crypto assets are considered as being transferred:

• Transferring crypto assets between own personal wallets – Is gain on disposal taxable? Since this is not viewed as disposal, this is considered tax-free. However, it is important to keep these records because transfer fees could be taxed. This is where things get complicated; if you pay the transfer fee in fiat currency, this is considered tax-free but if you pay it in cryptocurrency, then this is considered as disposal which is liable to be taxed. This asset disposal is subjected to Capital Gains Tax if there is a gain acquired.

• Liquidity – DeFi uses liquidity pools. When investing in these, they follow a similar pattern to crypto transfers, and therefore, you probably do not expect to pay tax in this instance. However, you are given a token when you exchange your share, therefore, you will be liable to pay Capital Gains Tax for any profits made.
