Swiss Federal Council Plans to Implement Crypto Asset Reporting Framework to Improve Tax Transparency

The Swiss Federal Council (consisting of seven members jointly leading the Swiss government) plans to implement a Cryptocurrency Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) to increase tax transparency.On the 15th, the Federal Council issued a consultation document to investigate public opinion on joining the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) to combat tax evasion and avoidance in cooperation with international tax authorities. Currently, Switzerland's joining of AEOI is scheduled for January 1, 2026. It is reported that the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) established AEOI and other initiatives for the Group of Twenty (G20) countries, which later expanded to include other countries.Switzerland previously adopted the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) of the OECD in 2014, but did not include CARF regulating cryptocurrency assets and their providers.
