Getting Started: What is Recap? → Signing Up → What is my secret phrase?
Recap is a UK-based, privacy-focused crypto tax calculator that helps you understand and manage your crypto taxes while ensuring HMRC compliance. You can get started for free — no credit card required.
There are three simple steps to calculating and filing your taxes:
Import your exchange and wallet transactions
Recap automatically calculates your capital gains and income taxes
Download your tax reports
You can use your Recap tax report to file your Self Assessment (SA108) or share your data securely with a tax professional who can help finalise your return.

Privacy and Security
Recap is built on the principle that privacy is security. Unlike other crypto tax tools, Recap uses client-side encryption — your data is encrypted on your device before it ever leaves your browser. Only you can access your data, not even Recap can see it. Learn more on our security page.
Free Plan
Recap's free plan lets you import transactions, track your portfolio, preview your capital gains and income, and share data with your accountant — all with unlimited integrations. The free plan never expires, so you can take your time. You'll only need a paid subscription when you're ready to download your tax reports. See our pricing for more details.
For Companies
Recap also supports UK companies holding crypto assets, with company-specific tax rules including the 10-day matching rule, balance sheet reports, and customisable accounting year ends. See Recap Company Plans for details.
