๐จ BREAKING: ๐ฎ๐ณ INDIA ISSUES CRYPTO REPORTING GUIDANCE UNDER CARF.
India's CBDT has released detailed guidance to implement the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF).
โ Reporting obligations apply to Crypto-Asset Service Providers (RCASPs), including exchanges.
โ RCASPs must collect users' tax residency and Tax Identification Number (TIN) details.
โ Eligible crypto transactions will be reported under CARF.
โ The framework supports automatic exchange of crypto tax information between participating countries.
โ The first reporting cycle is expected to cover 2026 transactions, with reports filed in 2027.
โ This is a reporting compliance framework not a new crypto tax.

$BTC | The CARF (Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework) regime kicked in 1 January 2026 and changed the AU exchange selection math materially.
What CARF actually does: it requires AU-registered exchanges and offshore exchanges with AU clients to share trading + holding data with the ATO under a global automatic-exchange-of-information regime. The OECD framework parallels the existing CRS for traditional finance. In practice this means CoinSpot, Independent Reserve, Cointree, Swyftx, BTC Markets, and Digital Surge all have data-sharing agreements that report holdings and disposals to the ATO automatically.
The exchange-selection implication: the "use an offshore exchange to dodge AU reporting" play that worked in 2017 has been progressively closed since 2019 AUSTRAC DCE registration requirements, and CARF closed the remaining gaps. The 1 Jan 2026 implementation date means EOFY 2026 reports will be the first to include CARF-sourced data for full-year coverage.
What now matters for AU-resident crypto allocation:
1. AFSL custody framework on the exchange (or absence of it). Independent Reserve has AFSL 521209. Many AU exchanges only have AUSTRAC DCE registration, which is anti-money-laundering compliance, not financial-services custody compliance.
2. Segregated client funds versus pooled. Audit the disclosure carefully on this. Some exchanges segregate fiat but pool crypto; some pool both.
3. Withdrawal policy on staking and rehypothecation. The recent BTC Markets T&Cs change made this a live issue for AU holders.
