Reporting on crypto-assets as of 1 January 2026
On 16 May 2023, EU Finance Ministers reached unanimous political agreement with respect to amendments on the 8th revision of the Directive on administrative cooperation in the field of taxation, implementing rules on reporting for crypto assets (DAC8). The updated Directive has been extended in scope to include reporting obligations of financial institutions regarding e-money and central bank digital currencies and the automatic exchange of information on advance cross-border rulings used by natural persons.
The Directive will improve Member States’ ability to detect and counter tax avoidance, tax evasion and tax fraud, by requiring all crypto-asset providers based in the EU to report transactions of clients residing in the EU. The new reporting requirements on crypto-assets, e-money and central bank digital currencies will enter into force on 1 January 2026.
