CBDT Issues Guidance Aligning Crypto Reporting with OECD Framework for Tax Transparency
India's Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued a detailed guidance note aligning crypto-asset reporting with the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). The framework requires crypto exchanges and service providers to collect users' tax residency and identification details and report transaction data annually to tax authorities starting next year. While the guidance clarifies reporting responsibilities and aims to enhance tax transparency, it does not introduce new taxes or regulate crypto assets. Industry experts view this as a step toward greater oversight and potential future regulation.
