CBDT Releases Guidance on Crypto-Asset Reporting Under Income-tax Act 2025
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued a detailed 198-page guidance note to assist crypto-asset service providers in complying with reporting obligations under the Income-tax Act, 2025. This guidance aligns with the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), endorsed by the G20, to facilitate automatic exchange of tax information on crypto-assets internationally. The note clarifies reporting requirements without introducing new tax rules, aiming to address challenges posed by cross-border crypto transactions and enhance tax compliance.
