Switzerland has postponed the implementation of cryptocurrency tax information sharing until 2027.

The Swiss Federal Council and the State Secretariat for International Financial Affairs announced on Wednesday that the implementation of rules for automatically exchanging cryptocurrency account information with overseas tax authorities will be postponed until 2027. The Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) rules will still be enacted into law as originally planned on January 1, 2026, but implementation will be delayed by at least one year. The Swiss government stated that the delay is due to the Tax Committee's "suspension of consideration regarding partner countries with which Switzerland intends to exchange data under CARF."

CARF is a global framework approved by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2022, designed to curb tax evasion through crypto platforms by sharing cryptocurrency account data. Currently, 75 countries, including Switzerland, have signed the framework, with plans to implement it within the next two to four years.
