Bulgaria’s National Assembly ratified the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Information under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF MCAA) on 18 February 2026.
The Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) is a standardised global tax transparency framework developed by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Its primary purpose is to facilitate the automatic, annual exchange of tax-relevant information regarding transactions in crypto-assets between jurisdictions.
The CARF MCAA, along with the CARF itself, is an OECD initiative designed to promote transparency in the rapidly expanding crypto-asset sector by establishing standardised reporting and due diligence rules for tax authorities.
Earlier, The Council of Ministers of Bulgaria approved the signing of the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement for the Automatic Exchange of Information under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF MCAA) on 13 November 2024.
