Broker information reporting involves the disclosure of client transaction data to relevant authorities. This obligation requires financial intermediaries, including certain digital asset platforms, to submit details about client trades, sales, and other dispositions. The objective is to ensure tax compliance and regulatory oversight within financial markets. Such reporting provides governments with necessary data to verify income and capital gains.
Context

Recent regulatory proposals aim to expand the scope of reporting to include various crypto asset transactions, thereby aligning digital asset markets with existing financial reporting standards. A critical future development involves harmonizing these requirements across international borders to prevent regulatory arbitrage.
