About
What this is.
cryptolounge is an independent guide to cryptocurrency for UK investors. We cover three things: tax obligations, exchange options, and regulatory changes.
The site exists because most crypto information is written for American audiences, by people trying to sell you something, or both. UK investors face specific rules — HMRC reporting, FCA registration requirements, CARF compliance, CGT calculations — that generic crypto sites don't address.
We are not a crypto exchange, broker, or financial adviser. We don't hold your money or recommend specific investments. We explain the rules, compare the options, and let you decide.
How we make money
When you click through to an exchange from our comparison tables, we may earn a commission if you sign up. These are called affiliate links. They are always clearly marked and never influence our rankings or recommendations.
We also display advertising from crypto ad networks. Advertisements are clearly separated from editorial content.
Our methodology
Exchange comparisons are based on real GBP deposits and live trades. FCA registration is verified via the Financial Services Register. Fees are checked quarterly. Tax information references HMRC guidance and legislation directly.
Every article includes a “Last updated” date. If information changes, we update the article and note the change.
