Switzerland Delays Crypto Tax Information Sharing Until 2027
Simran
Switzerland will adopt the OECD’s Crypto‑Asset Reporting Framework into national law from January 1, 2026, but international crypto tax data sharing is postponed until 2027.
The CARF framework standardizes global crypto reporting, requiring exchanges to collect user holdings, transfers, and transaction details for tax authorities.
Swiss authorities confirmed the delay on November 26, 2025, as the government is still deciding which countries to share crypto tax information with.
Swiss crypto platforms must register, track transactions, and report gains domestically starting 2026, but cross-border data exchanges will only begin in 2027 at the earliest.
The postponement addresses uncertainty in selecting partner countries among 75+ CARF-committed nations while ensuring Swiss financial institutions can prepare compliance systems.
