Why ChainTax

Built different, on purpose
01

UK-native HMRC rules

ChainTax is UK-only: Section 104 pooling, same-day and 30-day matching, SA108 mapping, and the 2024/25 split-year calculation share one product path.

02

34 DeFi protocol classifiers

Supported EVM activity is handled by contract and protocol rules. Anything unresolved stays visible in the Needs Review queue.

03

One-time pricing

From £49 per tax year. Pay once, keep access. No annual renewal, no subscription creep.

04

SA108 Box 51 for 2024/25

Auto-computes the split-year CGT rate adjustment for the 30 October 2024 rate change. Check competitor products directly if this specific field matters to you.

05

Show Working per disposal

Every disposal shows its matching rule, pool snapshot, cost basis, proceeds, price source and confidence.

02

Filing for a specific exchange
