Buyer decision guide

Should you DIY, run the free checker, buy CryptoTax Rescue UK — Answer Your HMRC Nudge Letter With a Clean, Penalty-Minimising Disclosure, or hire help?

A UK crypto holder who just opened an HMRC 'nudge' letter (or fears one once CARF data lands) goes from 3am panic to a calm, organised position in a weekend: years of messy disposals reconstructed into one defensible Section 104 cost-basis workbook, and a complete voluntary-disclosure pack ready for a qualified adviser to review before anything is filed.

Decision matrix

Choose the route that matches the risk.

01

DIY from public guidance

Use this when the issue is low-risk and you have time to read primary sources, build your own checklist, and keep evidence yourself.

02

Run the free diagnostic first

Best first move when you need a fast private screening result before buying anything.

03

Use the paid kit

Best fit when the problem is recurring, evidence-heavy, and specific enough that a buy-once workflow is cheaper than rebuilding from scratch.

04

Hire qualified help

Use this for legal, tax, medical, employment, accessibility, compliance, regulated, disputed or high-value cases where judgement matters.
