Hong Kong Moves to Track Crypto Taxes Globally
Hong Kong has initiated a public consultation to revise its Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) and Common Reporting Standard (CRS). The proposed updates aim to automate the sharing of tax-related information on cryptocurrency transactions with international partners, targeting cross-border tax evasion.
The information exchange is slated to commence in 2028, with full operationalization expected by 2029. This step underscores Hong Kong's commitment to tighter regulatory oversight and enhanced global collaboration in achieving transparency for crypto taxation.
