A lot of UK crypto holders assume that once access to a wallet is gone, so are the tax responsibilities. But under HMRC’s rules, that’s not how it works.
Lost access does not equal tax exemption.
Until you file a Negligible Value Claim, those assets still sit in your cost basis and could inflate your capital gains liability.
Let’s say you lost access to:
- A hardware wallet with thousands in tokens
- A seed phrase scribbled on a long-lost piece of paper
- An exchange wallet you can’t recover
Even if they’re truly gone, they're still reportable, unless you’ve submitted the right claim.
And here’s the kicker:
➡️ A poorly made or undocumented claim won’t hold up under HMRC review
➡️ Claims must be precise, timestamped, and supported with documentation
➡️ Every impacted token must be reconciled in your share pool
Without it, you risk:
→ Paying tax on ghost assets
→ Misreporting gains
→ Triggering penalties or audits
At Crypto Accountants, we specialise in making these problems disappear, from your spreadsheets and your stress levels. We trace transactions, rebuild histories, and file formal Negligible Value Claims the right way.
With over 20% of Bitcoin believed to be unrecoverable, this issue isn’t rare, it’s widespread. And the sooner your records reflect reality, the safer your position is with HMRC.
Let us help you restore a defensible, compliant tax position.
