According to an OECD update, Montenegro, Oman, Panama, Peru, Rwanda, and Uruguay signed the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Information under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF MCAA) and the Addendum to the 2024 Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information (CRS MCAA).
The signing ceremony took place during the 18th Plenary Meeting of the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes, held in New Delhi from 2 to 4 December 2025.
The CARF MCAA creates a framework for the automatic exchange of information on crypto-assets, following the OECD’s reporting and due diligence standards. Its goal is to help tax authorities address risks linked to the fast-growing crypto market and maintain transparency across borders.
The CRS MCAA Addendum expands the scope of information to be exchanged under the CRS MCAA, incorporating additional reporting obligations introduced by the 2023 revision of the Common Reporting Standard. These enhancements are intended to maintain the CRS’s effectiveness in tackling international tax compliance issues.
