[Switzerland Delays Global Crypto Tax Information Automatic Exchange to 2027] Odaily Planet Daily News: The Swiss Federal Council and the State Secretariat for International Finance Affairs have announced that the global crypto asset tax information sharing mechanism (CARF), originally scheduled to launch in 2026, will be postponed to 2027. Although the relevant legislation will still take effect as planned on January 1, 2026, Switzerland has yet to determine the partner countries for the first batch of data exchanges, which is considered a key reason for the delay. CARF was introduced by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2022, aiming to promote the automatic exchange of crypto account information among countries to curb cross-border crypto asset tax evasion. Currently, 75 countries, including Switzerland, have committed to implementing CARF within the next 2 to 4 years, while countries such as Argentina, El Salvador, Vietnam, and India have not yet joined the framework.
