    <p>The UK’s tax authority has issued crypto traders a polite reminder that they face a fine of up to £900 ($1,146) if they fail to submit a self-assessment tax return detailing their trades.</p> 
    <p>In its reminder, His Majesty’s Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) reiterated that taxes are due when traders receive crypto from employment, either as part of a trade or via income from crypto-related activities.</p> 
    <p>It also details how traders may be obliged to pay tax when they sell their crypto for fiat, swap it for other cryptos, or gift it.</p>

    <p>Traders have until January 31 to file their returns and failure to do so could see them incur an immediate £100 ($130) fine. However, if they fail to comply within a further three months, they could incur <strong>daily fines of £10 ($13) up to a maximum of £900</strong>, and even lose 5% of the amount owed or £300 ($380), whichever is the greater.</p> 
    <p>HMRC’s director general for customer services Myrtle Lloyd said, “People sometimes forget that information about crypto-related income and gains need to be included in their tax return. Some people affected may not have had to do a tax return before, so it is important people check.</p> 
    <p>“With the Self Assessment deadline <strong>just a matter of weeks away</strong>, I am urging people not to put off completing it.”</p>
