Finland’s Ministry of Finance is conducting a public consultation on implementing the Amending Directive (2021/514) to the 2011 Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC8) into national law, effective 1 January 2026.

DAC8 is a new EU directive that broadens tax reporting requirements to cover crypto-assets and digital currencies. Its goal is to enhance transparency and strengthen efforts to combat tax fraud across member states. DAC8 is based on the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) and the updated Common Reporting Standard (CRS) for automatic exchange of financial account information.

Under this directive, crypto asset providers and intermediaries must collect and report client information to tax authorities, who will share it with other EU Member States.

The consultation is open until 10 August 2025.
