48 Countries Begin Crypto Tax Data Collection in 2026 Ahead of CARF Launch in 2027

Crypto service providers (like exchanges) in 48 jurisdictions has started from 1st of January for collection of detailed transaction data ahead of the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework's rollout. The OECD framework will see the first batch of countries record transactions in 2026 for information exchange in 2027, while a second group has until Jan. 1, 2027, to start gathering data.

Check if you country is there:

Lol, this is CARF. The OECD's version of "we were late to crypto control, so now we're panicking and collecting everything". Yep, my country is on the list, and I'm "glad" things are starting to get regulated. We have a new finance minister who is aggressive on revenue and conservative on spending. And I wonder how they're going to collect all this stuff too.

This covers centralized and certain decentralized exchanges, crypto ATMs, and brokers and dealers that fall within the scope of the new rules.

Are there any leaks about which DEXs are affiliated with the government?

WTH. Wouldn't those "DEX" need to enforce KYC first before they can collect any data? If so, what are they then? Clown exchanges? 'cause they purposely flaunt their "decentralized" feature when in reality, they are centralized exchanges. 
Are we now heading to an era wherein true Decentralized exchanges will be forcefully shut down 'cause the governments can't gather data on them and tax the users?

There are many exchanges that are said they are decentralized, even if you make use of search engines or AI like ChatGPT, you will see that they are decentralized, in reality they are not decentralized but centralized. A decentralized exchange like Bisq will be difficult for the government to do something like this.

For those non KYC exchanges like Hyperliquid, they are also not decentralized and we do not know what will happen in the future because they are completely centralized. If the government try to regulate the exchanges, they may start enforcing KYC.

Will anyone be jailed for developing apps like Bisq in the future? Maybe if they're big enough, there's a chance some big guys will ask them to cooperate nicely, not if everything is P2P though. Sounds like they'll spend a lot of money to achieve little when the majority is probably fine with exchanging convenience with some KYC. In my country, it seems like exchanges have been handling tax payments for their users for months; I guess it's related to this to some extent. CMIIW.

If data such as IP address, Input/Output address, TX history, browsing history, location, and device/browser info are sufficient for CARF, I think many DEXs would be happy to share them. However, if KYC data is mandatory, it will be a problem for them, especially given their claim to be decentralized platforms.

Seychelles and Cayman Islands are not on the list.

Decentralization is limited to smart contracts, but DEXs can embed some of their user tracking code on the front end at the regulator's request.
Furthermore, many DEXs are launching surface web versions that use regulated hosting providers, and governments clearly have full control over them through legal action.

This is true. However I see a massive list containing many countries. What I think about is how those countries would know that their citizens are actually using a specific DEX? There will be a check mission for every DEX? And if a DEX refuses to provide users data for one or more countries, what should be the consequences?
DEXs will lose reputation if corporate with governments, while I don't think those countries conbined will be able to monitor every DEX in the actual/future market.

Work for CARF started in 2019 and got accepted in 2023, so this new only to latest countries. I am not sure why some people thought it wouldn't happen for their countries.

And DEXes are viable solution only if you are going to stay inside crypto ecosystem and never cash out, or if you aren't considering to buy something expensive with your cryptos. Because if you start to connect your cryptos to anything tangible that you need to report, you are going to have hard time to prove the origin of your cryptos. Especially if you wanted to hide it the first place.

There's going to be some privacy though, as there are only so much countries even want to know, or have resources to find out.
