Luxembourg Implements DAC8: Expanding Crypto-Asset Tax Reporting and Upgrading Financial Transparency Standards

  • On 19 March 2026, Luxembourg adopted DAC8, implementing new tax transparency rules for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), effective retroactively from 1 January 2026, with first reporting due by 30 June 2027.
  • DAC8 mandates compulsory registration, due diligence, user notification, and annual reporting for a broad range of CASPs, regardless of MiCA authorisation.
  • The Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) requires CASPs to identify reportable users, notify them, and submit detailed annual returns to tax authorities.
  • DAC8 expands the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) to include crypto-assets, e-money institutions, and central bank digital currencies, increasing reporting scope and detail.
