I'm a bit confused about the tax reporting process in the UK with regards to cryptocurrency transactions. I've heard that crypto exchanges are required to report certain information to HMRC, but I'm not sure what that information is or how it works. Can you clarify this for me? Are crypto exchanges indeed required to report to HMRC, and if so, what kind of information do they need to provide? How does this process work, and what are the consequences if an exchange fails to comply with these reporting requirements? I'm particularly interested in understanding how this applies to individuals who use crypto exchanges to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
