DAC8: automatic exchange of information on crypto-assets

TOPIC
European Union — Directive (EU) 2023/2226 (DAC8): briefing note

DAC8 extends the automatic exchange of tax information to crypto-assets: service providers (CASPs) report their EU clients’ transactions to the authorities, and the data feeds into the flows between member states, with effects already on current tax periods.

For anyone who holds or has held crypto-assets, transparency becomes structural: consistency between the RW schedule of the Italian tax return, declared income and the data reported by platforms is essential. The firm assists with position reviews and voluntary corrections.
