Switzerland has postponed the automatic exchange of cryptocurrency account information with foreign tax authorities until at least 2027. Despite finalizing legal frameworks to support these new reporting requirements, the delay comes after Switzerland’s Federal Council announced its decision on November 26th, 2025. This postponement follows the implementation of amendments to the Ordinance on the International Automatic Exchange of Information in Tax Matters (AEOI Ordinance), which incorporates Switzerland’s participation in the OECD’s global tax transparency framework. The update includes revisions to the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and the integration of the new Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). 2026 will see the AEOIA and AEOI Ordinance formally come into effect, but actual implementation will be delayed until at least 2027 due to unresolved decisions about which partner countries Switzerland will exchange data with under CARF. The National Council’s Economic Affairs and Taxation Committee has temporarily suspended discussions on which partner states should engage in this exchange, causing a delay in the launch date of the initiative.
