The Cryptoasset Reporting Framework was first introduced in October 2022 by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The document was designed to give tax authorities greater visibility into crypto transactions, as well as the people behind them.
Under the proposed framework, countries would automatically exchange information on crypto transactions between jurisdictions annually, covering transactions on unregulated crypto exchanges and wallet providers.
Crypto transactions are already subject to new disclosure standards in many countries. In May, the European Union approved updated rules to join the CARF, establishing procedures for the automatic exchange of information between European governments for tax purposes. Under the new rules, the transfer of digital assets must be accompanied by the name of the beneficiary, the address of the beneficiary's distributed ledger, as well as the beneficiary's account number.
The group also endorsed the Financial Stability Board's (FSB) recommendations for the "regulation, supervision and surveillance of cryptoasset activities and markets and of global stablecoin arrangements," according to the announcement. Published in July, the recommendations set similar standards for stablecoins such as commercial banks, and urge regulators to prohibit any activity that hinders the identification of the participants involved, among other recommendations.
