Thanks for the response. Yes, I heard that rumour about CGT in the UK.
What I really want to know I suppose is IF a seller in the UK was willing to accept bitcoin/crypto as a currency for their property, would the UK government allow it and [then] how would the tax journey pan-out in comparison to the £? I mean, if somebody in the UK (or anywhere, I guess) accepts X amount of bitcoin for their property, does it save me any money in the long-run by paying for it with bitcoin when the tax man is George Orwell's nightmare vision for the 1980's?
The bottom-line, I suppose, is am I able to purchase property with cryptocurrency and how much money if any can I save by doing so?
Yeah you can use bitcoin just as you can fiat in the UK and wider Europe (the EU class it as a currency and I think the UK will continue to do that after/if we leave).
You'll probably have to go through similar aml regs and might need to prove how you got the funds but if you've got exchange transactions or something that'll probably be enough.
I don't know how it'd save money though?. Unless you're trying to speculate on an increase in market value.
