Regulatory framing — United Kingdom
DOGE disposals via UK self-assessment (SA108). 2021-cycle peak buyers most likely loss-harvest candidates. UK 30-day matching applies — if you sell DOGE at a loss + rebuy within 30 days, the 30-day rule matches the new buy against the sale (defeating the loss-harvest). UK 30-day rule is OPPOSITE of US (where you CAN rebuy immediately). CGT rates 10%/20%. Annual allowance £3,000.

Common gotchas
- UK 30-day rule prevents bed-and-breakfast loss-harvest. US-style 'sell+immediately rebuy' doesn't work in UK.
- Multi-cycle basis blending.
- DOGE ETN (2025) in ISA/SIPP = tax-shielded disposal alternative.
- Same-day matching also applies.
- £24k proceeds threshold reporting.
Step-by-step
- Pull DOGE Section 104 pool basis. Crypto-tax software.
- Plan around 30-day matching. UK loss-harvest requires NOT rebuying within 30 days.
- Trade DOGE-GBP on Pro tier. Limit order.
- Withdraw GBP. Faster Payments instant.
- Record disposal. Date, amount, GBP, pool basis.
- Plan annual allowance. £3,000 + 5 April year-end.
