What applies, and when

On any disposal
Realised gains on crypto are not taxed as such. Holdings form part of the box 3 base for income from savings and investments, where the benefit is set as a return percentage applied to the value of the assets at the start of the calendar year, to the extent that value exceeds the tax-free capital amount.
Caveat
The box 3 charge is computed from asset values on the reference date of 1 January rather than from the profit realised on a sale, so the date of a disposal does not create a separate taxable event.
