The tax treatment of lending and borrowing on decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols could soon be changed in the United Kingdom, as the taxation arm of the Treasury is seeking input on a possible new regime.
An April 27 consultation by HM Revenue and Customs will run until June 22 and asks for “investors, professionals and firms engaged in DeFi activities” along with representative bodies and think tanks to submit their views on the government's proposed DeFi tax treatment.
