When are the first reports due?
From DAC8 and CARF: what your company will be asked when it holds stablecoins, by Pavel Skalin. Updated .
The wider picture
The key points from the guide this answer comes from:
- Since 1 January 2026, crypto-asset service providers in the EU and the UK have been collecting data on their customers' transactions, including stablecoins, to report to tax authorities. First reports cover 2026 and go in during 2027.
- Companies are covered, not only individuals. Expect your exchange or provider to ask for a self-certification of your company's tax residence and tax identification number, and in some cases details of the people who control it.
- 77 jurisdictions have committed to the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework: 46 starting exchanges by 2027, including the UK and EU countries, 27 by 2028, including Canada, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong and the UAE, and 4 by 2029, including the US.
- The reporting doesn't change what tax you owe. It means tax authorities will see the transactions, so your own records should match what your providers report.
