UK to Defer Capital Gains Tax on DeFi Lending and Liquidity Pool Deposits
The UK's HM Revenue & Customs has announced a change in tax policy, deferring capital gains tax for users of decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocols and liquidity pools. The new rules will take effect from April 6, 2027, aligning taxation with the economic reality of DeFi transactions by delaying taxable events until assets are genuinely disposed of.
