DAC8: obligatory reporting to tax authorities

What is DAC8?

DAC8 is the eight amendment of the “Directive on Administrative Cooperation” and aims to better regulate the tax aspects of crypto assets within the EU. A main objective of DAC8 is to create uniform tax transparency between Member States through coherent disclosure obligations for providers and issuers of crypto-assets and e-money.

What do I need to do?

As a first step, you need to carry out an assessment to determine whether your business qualifies as a Crypto Asset Service Provider and falls under the scope of DAC8. The next step is to identify your obligations under the new legislation, and the impact on your day-to-day operations.

Who is affected?

All organizations that service customers in the EU by processing crypto transactions, such as crypto exchanges, broker intermediaries and crypto ATMs. Also non-EU based organizations that operate in Europe, might be affected by the DAC8 directive. Please check our FAQ section for a detailed legal definition.

Such ‘crypto-asset services’ incude:
(a) the custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of third parties;
(b) the operation of a trading platform for crypto-assets;
(c) the exchange of crypto-assets for funds;
(d) the exchange of crypto-assets for other crypto-assets;

(f) placing of crypto-assets;
(g) the reception and transmission of orders for crypto-assets on behalf of third parties

The term Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) is defined by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) which is an independent inter-governmental body within the OECD that develops and promotes policies to protect the global financial system against money laundering and corruption. The EU is a member of the FATF and implements its regulations.
On the other hand, the term Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) is defined in the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and is similar but broader in scope than the definition of a VASP to ensure it covers more use cases of crypto-asset services. Providers of crypto-assets in the EU will be subject to the defintion of CASPs.
