European Union (EU) member states are close to a unanimous agreement on new rules for sharing data on cryptocurrency and non-fungible token (NFT) holdings among tax authorities. Formal approval is expected next week, though some governments are still awaiting procedural approval from national parliaments.
These rules aim to address concerns about potential tax evasion and money laundering involving digital assets. Greater transparency will help combat these issues and promote a more secure and compliant digital asset market.
Discussions on the bill have been mostly behind closed doors, with no draft of the agreed text published yet.
As the EU moves forward with these new crypto tax data sharing rules, both cryptocurrency holders and industry players will need to adapt to the changing regulatory landscape. Increased transparency may lead to greater scrutiny of digital asset transactions and holdings, as well as the potential for more stringent reporting requirements for individuals and businesses involved in the crypto space.
