DAC8 Expansion

Definition

DAC8 Expansion refers to the broadening of the European Union’s Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC) to include new categories of digital assets and reporting obligations. This regulatory development aims to enhance tax transparency by requiring crypto-asset service providers to report transactions to tax authorities. The expansion seeks to close potential loopholes and ensure consistent tax treatment across member states for digital asset activities. It represents a significant step towards increased oversight in the digital economy.
