Switzerland has pushed back the implementation of its international crypto account data sharing framework until 2027. While CARF (Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework) was initially set to take effect in January 2026, the Swiss government will only begin exchanging information with partner countries after at least one year’s delay. This decision stems from ongoing deliberations about which nations will be included in data-sharing agreements. 75 countries are currently on board with CARF implementation over the next two to four years. Notably, countries like Argentina, El Salvador, Vietnam, and India remain non-committal. The delay is attributed to the Swiss tax committee pausing discussions on partner states for the agreement and due to ongoing regulatory changes in the country regarding crypto taxes. Switzerland’s move follows a recent bill to adopt CARF rules by 2026 and subsequent data exchange beginning the following year. This postponement comes amidst a global effort to combat tax evasion through increased transparency. Brazil, for instance, is exploring similar measures. Meanwhile, the U.S. government is revisiting proposals for IRS participation in CARF to enhance capital gains tax reporting for Americans utilizing foreign exchanges. The evolving regulatory landscape continues to place heightened scrutiny on the crypto industry as it strives to adhere to international standards and combat tax evasion while promoting transparency in the digital asset market.
