CARF Masterclass with Andersen and Taxbit

Описание: Join us for an in-depth masterclass on the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) and recent amendments to the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) — two major global developments reshaping compliance for crypto-asset service providers.

Hosted by Max Bernt (Managing Director, Europe at Taxbit), this session features expert insights from Dion Seymour (Crypto and Digital Assets Technical Director, Andersen) and Colby Mangels (Global Head of Government Solutions, Taxbit), who previously worked at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development on the design and implementation of CARF itself. Dion has also been involved since CARF’s early inception in 2018 — giving you a rare insider perspective on how these rules came together and what’s coming next.

What you’ll learn in this masterclass:

✅ What CARF is — and what it isn’t
CARF is a global information-reporting standard focused on financial transparency in crypto. It’s not about determining tax liability — it’s about ensuring jurisdictions receive consistent baseline data on crypto transactions.

✅ Global rollout & implementation timelines
Countries are adopting CARF in waves, with many jurisdictions requiring compliance starting January 1, 2026 — even where local guidance is still evolving.

✅ Who is in scope
Learn how to assess whether your entities and activities fall under CARF, including what it means to “effectuate” crypto transactions (crypto-to-crypto, crypto-to-fiat, and fiat-to-crypto).

✅ Reporting mechanics
CARF reporting is done on an annual aggregate basis, covering transaction volumes and gains/losses per user and per asset type — not individual transaction-by-transaction filings.

✅ Customer identification & self-certification
Understand how CARF expands beyond traditional AML/KYC by requiring tax residence self-certifications and ongoing monitoring for changes in customer circumstances.

✅ Crypto asset definitions
CARF uses a broad definition of reportable crypto assets, generally covering blockchain or DLT-based assets used for payment or investment purposes.

✅ Enforcement & penalties
Non-compliance can trigger significant per-user penalties and, in some jurisdictions, even threaten operating licenses — making early preparation critical.

✅ Ongoing compliance obligations
CARF isn’t a one-and-done exercise. Providers must continuously monitor customer data and update records as circumstances change.
