Switzerland Postpones Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework to 2027
- Switzerland will delay the implementation of the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) until 2027, originally set for January 1, 2026.
- CARF, developed by the OECD in 2022, facilitates automatic data exchange on crypto-assets among tax authorities.
- As of November, a total of 75 countries have joined CARF, while notable absentees include Argentina and India.
- The delay is due to revisions in the list of partner countries and a temporary halt by the Economic Affairs and Taxation Committee.
This postponement reflects ongoing evaluations regarding international cooperation on cryptocurrency regulations and tax information exchange. Understanding these developments is essential for stakeholders navigating evolving compliance landscapes globally.
