Do I have to pay taxes when using Ledger?
Yes, Ledger gains and income are considered taxable transactions by HMRC.
Ledger capital gains tax ranges from 18% to 24%, with an annual tax-free allowance of £3,000 for the 2024/25 tax year. Tax on income from Ledger ranges from 0% to 45%, based on the total taxable income.

Does Ledger automatically deduct taxes?
No, as of 2024, Ledger does not automatically deduct taxes from crypto trades.
Calculating crypto taxes can be challenging for crypto exchanges, as they do not have any knowledge of your off-exchange transactions on other platforms or wallets and are therefore missing crucial information required to calculate gains, losses and income.
However, Ledger might still report your crypto transactions to your country's tax authority if certain criteria are met or if asked.
We highly recommend tracking and reporting all relevant crypto transactions on and off the exchange to prevent audits and fines.
