The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) first launched a cryptoasset reporting framework in October 2022. The document aims to give tax authorities a better understanding of cryptocurrency transactions and the individuals behind them.
Under the proposed framework, countries will automatically exchange information on cryptocurrency transactions between jurisdictions on an annual basis, covering transactions by unregulated cryptocurrency exchanges and wallet providers.
Cryptocurrency trading is already subject to new disclosure standards in many countries. In May, the EU approved updated rules for compliance with CARF, setting out procedures for automatic information sharing between European governments for tax purposes. According to the new rules, transfers of digital assets should be accompanied by the beneficiary’s name, the beneficiary’s distributed ledger address, and the beneficiary’s account number.
