Disposals made through Trust Wallet — swapping tokens via the built-in DEX aggregator, selling, spending or gifting crypto — are Capital Gains Tax events. Simple transfers between your own wallets are not disposals. Staking rewards received may be Income Tax events in the year received.
Recovering your Trust Wallet history
Trust Wallet does not provide a CSV export. Use block explorers to recover your full history. For Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens use Etherscan; for BNB Smart Chain use BscScan; for other chains use the relevant explorer.
Frequently asked questions
Is using Trust Wallet's swap feature a taxable event?
Yes — each token swap is a disposal of the asset you give up, chargeable to CGT at its GBP value on the date of the swap.
What if I used Trust Wallet across multiple chains?
You need transaction history from every chain you used. Export from each chain's block explorer separately and combine them before calculating your UK tax position.
