Summary

Rob Massey from Deloitte discusses how Bitcoin tax rules and the self-assessment system apply to digital assets. The video covers how using Bitcoin as money requires new reporting muscle, which wallet movements constitute realization events, and why broker 1099 forms do not provide a complete picture. Because no de minimis exemption has passed, users must report all transactions regardless of size. The discussion also examines business inquiries regarding exchange traded funds, leverage, and Bitcoin lending, alongside cross-border tax challenges involving withholding, Subpart F, and the lack of tax treaties. Additionally, the coverage touches on cost basis tracking for coins moved across wallets over the years and how to address historical unreported transactions.
