Collective Engagement to Implement the Crypto-Asset
Reporting Framework
November 10, 2023

Joint Statement by: Armenia, Australia, Austria, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Brazil, Bulgaria,

Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg,

Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America; the

"To keep pace with the rapid development and growth of the crypto-asset market and to
ensure that recent gains in global tax transparency will not be gradually eroded, we welcome
the new international standard on automatic exchange of information between
tax authorities developed by the OECD – the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). The
widespread, consistent and timely implementation of the CARF will further improve
our ability to ensure tax compliance and clamp down on tax evasion, which reduces public
revenues and increases the burden on those who pay their taxes.
As jurisdictions that play host to active crypto markets, we therefore intend to work towards
swi ly transposing the CARF into domestic law and activating exchange agreements in time
for exchanges to commence by 2027, subject to national legislative procedures as applicable.
In order to ensure consistency and a smooth implementation for both business and
governments, those of us that are signatory jurisdictions to the Common Reporting Standard
will also implement, in line with the above timeline and subject to national legislative
procedures as applicable, amendments to this standard as agreed by the OECD earlier this
year.
We invite other jurisdictions to join us with a view to enhancing the global system of
automatic information exchange which leaves no hiding places for tax evasion."
