According to HashNews, the EU's new digital asset tax transparency law, DAC8, will take effect on January 1, 2025. The directive expands the EU's long-standing administrative cooperation framework to include crypto assets and service providers, requiring them to collect and report detailed user and transaction data to tax authorities, which will then be shared among EU member states. DAC8 will operate alongside the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, though independently, with MiCA focusing on market conduct and DAC8 on tax flows. Crypto firms have until July 1 to fully comply with reporting systems, customer due diligence, and internal controls, with penalties under national laws for non-compliance.

The new rules mark a key step in digital asset regulation across the bloc.
