CRS 2.0 Alignment refers to the process of adapting reporting systems and data collection practices to meet the updated standards of the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) 2.0. This revised framework by the OECD aims to enhance global tax transparency by expanding the scope of financial information exchanged between jurisdictions. For digital asset service providers, achieving CRS 2.0 Alignment means implementing new procedures for identifying reportable accounts and collecting additional data points. This ensures adherence to international anti-tax evasion efforts.
Context
The introduction of CRS 2.0, particularly its integration with the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), represents a significant shift in international tax compliance for the digital asset sector. The current discussion centers on the practical challenges faced by crypto exchanges and wallet providers in modifying their systems to accurately identify and report cryptoasset transactions. A key debate involves harmonizing diverse national interpretations of these global standards. Future developments will likely involve detailed implementation guidance and potentially further refinements to ensure comprehensive reporting across the digital economy.
The UK's CARF adoption operationalizes a global tax transparency standard, requiring RCASPs to integrate new due diligence and transactional reporting modules by the start of 2026.
