The St Helena Government income-tax page says that a person's taxable income includes capital gains and states a separate charge on chargeable income representing capital gains. The page does not mention bitcoin or crypto-assets, so it does not establish that those general rules apply to a bitcoin sale, spending transaction, or exchange.

Regime: No crypto-specific rule
Reporting duty: Self-employed people and companies must submit tax returns and year-end accounts by 30 June. The page also lists 31 July as a tax-return submission date. It does not specify bitcoin reporting or declaration of holdings.
