Fingers crossed but HMRC don’t have a good record on things like this, and you need to look at why that is. 1) they can do pretty much what they like unless you have the money to fight them in court (or the connections to twist arms), and 2) they seem to be uninterested in fairness and happy to bankrupt people who fall foul of rules for no good reason (e.g. you sell MAID for bitcoin, incur a tax liability, right away buy DUMCOIN with that bitcoin and before close of business DUMCOIN plummets and you don’t have cash to pay the liability. Tough.)
