FAQ

What crypto teams are asking right now

Is DAC8 in force?
Yes. DAC8 (Directive (EU) 2023/2226) entered into force on 1 January 2026. Reporting Crypto-Asset Service Providers must have been collecting reportable data since that date. [1][5]
Who must report?
Reporting Crypto-Asset Service Providers (RCASPs) — exchanges, brokers, wallet and ATM operators, and others effectuating exchange transactions in crypto-assets, with EU-resident users. If you operate in the EU without MiCA authorisation, you need single registration in a member state. [1][3]
What must be reported?
Identification of the RCASP and the taxpayer/investor, plus quantitative data per reportable crypto-asset: aggregate gross amounts paid or received on acquisitions/disposals against fiat or other crypto-assets, and fair market value on transfers. Scope follows MiCA definitions, plus decentralised assets, stablecoins and certain NFTs. [1][4]
When is the first report due?
Reporting is due within 9 months of the first fiscal year — between 1 January and 30 September 2027. Member states set specific dates (the Netherlands: 31 January 2027). The first exchange of 2026 data happens by 30 September 2027. [1][2]
What are the penalties?
Penalties are set by each member state under national transposition (the directive does not set one EU-wide fine). Some member states have introduced fines from €20,000 up to €900,000 for non-compliant platforms. Check your national rules. [2][3]
