Homepage > News > Finance > UAE adopts OECD’s digital asset tax reporting framework The United Arab Emirates has become the latest nation to adopt the Crypto‑Asset Reporting Framework, a standard that requires comprehensive tax disclosures from VASPs operating in member countries. Announcing the move, the UAE Ministry of Finance stated that it would enhance the country’s oversight of the digital asset sector, whose growth has exploded across the Middle East over recent years. “[This framework is] a significant milestone in the UAE’s journey towards strengthening its commitment to the highest international standards of tax transparency and expanding cooperation with international organisations such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the global financial community,” said a statement from the ministry. CARF is a new framework published by the OECD in 2022. It calls for the automatic collection and exchange of information between national regulators. It covers digital assets such as BSV, stablecoins like USDC, certain tokenized real-world assets, utility tokens that can be sold or exchanged, and NFTs, provided they can be used for payment or traded. Fifty countries have pledged to implement the framework once it takes effect in 2027, including Canada, Brazil, France, Germany, Japan, the U.K., Mexico, and South Africa. A further 23 will implement it a year later, and these include Hong Kong, Kenya, Malaysia, Thailand, the U.S., Switzerland, and Singapore. The UAE will join this second batch and undertake the first exchange of tax information in 2028. The OECD’s Global Forum, which coordinates global tax transparency standards, has further identified India, Vietnam, Argentina, Australia, and El Salvador as the five nations most in need of the CARF that have yet to accept the standard.
