HMRC are currently woefully unprepared to audit crypto people. A friend of mine was asked for receipts for his trading activities last year and when he submitted > 500k transactions in a CSV file they basically told him they believed him.
I imagine that kind of shit will be outsourced before long. There are plenty of accountants who'd be happy to deal with that for hefty fees.

You're probably right. Worth pointing out that there is a 4 year and 6 year statute of limitations (as long as you're not committing direct fraud) on tax issues in the UK though. The exchange picture doesn't take losses and maintenance costs into account either so there is still a lot of auditing involved to get the full picture of somebodys crypto tax position.
