UK Guide

UK money decisions need UK records.

Use this checklist to organize HMRC-facing records, investment account questions, Bitcoin and crypto activity, property costs, and business paperwork.

Checklist

What to verify before acting.

Tax

Start with HMRC guidance.

Check current official pages for income, capital gains, cryptoassets, self assessment, allowable costs, and deadlines.

Investing

Separate account type from investment choice.

Learn the difference between wrappers, pensions, general accounts, fees, risk, and tax reporting before choosing products.

Bitcoin

Keep exchange and wallet records.

Export trades, transfers, fees, wallet addresses, acquisition evidence, and disposal notes before tax season.

Property

Model total housing cost.

Include deposit, mortgage pressure, insurance, maintenance, council costs, moving costs, and opportunity cost.

Business

Keep income and expense evidence.

Save invoices, receipts, bank statements, software exports, mileage notes, subscriptions, and customer records.

Sources

Use official bodies first.

Prioritize HMRC, FCA, GOV.UK, Companies House, Bank of England, and provider documents before social posts.
