During a two-day summit in New Delhi, G20 leaders unanimously called for the speedy adoption of the CARF and amendments to the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). The objective is to establish a coordinated timeline for information exchanges among relevant jurisdictions commencing in 2027. This move aims to bolster transparency and tax compliance in the crypto sector.
The impact of this forthcoming framework will be far-reaching, impacting many nations, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States, along with the European Union.
The Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework was initially introduced in October 2022 by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Its primary goal is to enhance the visibility of tax authorities into crypto transactions and the individuals conducting them. Under this framework, participating countries will automatically exchange information on crypto transactions annually. This exchange will cover activities on unregulated crypto exchanges and wallet providers.
In May, the European Union approved updated rules to align with the CARF. These rules mandate that digital asset transfers include crucial information, such as the beneficiary’s name, distributed ledger address, and account number. This ensures greater transparency and accountability in crypto transactions.
In addition to the CARF, G20 leaders have also endorsed recommendations from the Financial Stability Board (FSB) regarding regulating and supervising crypto-assets and global stablecoins. Published in July, these recommendations establish similar standards for stablecoins as those applied to commercial banks. Regulators are urged to prevent activities that hinder the identification of involved participants, among other essential measures.
The G20 has called upon the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and sector-specific standard-setting bodies (SSBs) to ensure the consistent and timely implementation of these recommendations globally, thereby preventing regulatory loopholes. In response, the FSB and SSBs have submitted a ‘synthesis paper’ to the G20. This paper outlines the necessity for a synchronized and all-encompassing policy and regulatory framework. It also underscores the importance of addressing a wide spectrum of risks, including those unique to emerging markets and developing economies.
