OECD’s global forum on transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes supports Kazakhstan’s implementation of the crypto-asset reporting framework ahead of 2027 exchanges.
Kazakhstan is moving forward with the implementation of the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), as stated in a recent OECD update on 6 May 2026. The jurisdiction plans to initiate the first exchange of information under this standard in 2027.
On 5 May 2026, experts from the Secretariat delivered a virtual training event bringing together participants from the State Revenue Committee, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development, the National Bank, the Astana International Financial Centre and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The event aimed at supporting Kazakhstan’s whole-of-government efforts to strengthen transparency in the crypto-asset sector through the effective implementation of the CARF. It also sought to raise awareness of the framework among sector regulators and other key stakeholders, while fostering a shared understanding of institutional roles and responsibilities to ensure its coordinated and effective application.
About the global forum
With over 170 members, the Global Forum is the leading multilateral body mandated to ensure that jurisdictions around the world adhere to and effectively implement the standard on transparency and exchange of information on request (EOIR) and the standards of automatic exchange of information (AEOI), covering financial accounts under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and crypto-asset transactions under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). These objectives are achieved through robust monitoring and peer review processes.
The Global Forum also runs an extensive capacity-building programme to support its members in implementing the standards and help tax authorities make the best use of cross-border information sharing channels.
