Tackling Compliance in the Digital Asset Era
In a strategic move to enhance the compliance landscape for digital assets, Taxbit, a leading provider of automated tax and accounting solutions, has revealed significant upgrades to their platform. This expansion aims to align with the European Union's DAC8 directive and the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), marking a pivotal leap for digital asset management across countries.
Supporting Global Tax Compliance
Effective January 1, 2026, the DAC8 and CARF regulations are set to reshape how digital asset platforms operate. With this change, Reporting Crypto-Asset Service Providers (RCASPs) across more than 65 nations will be able to automate their tax reporting duties through a unified, enterprise-level platform.
Michelle O'Connor, Vice President of Global Market Expansion at Taxbit, emphasizes this transformation: _“With the new framework, Taxbit enables platforms to effectively meet their obligations with clarity and efficiency, laying down the groundwork for seamless growth within a structured compliance infrastructure.”_
A New Chapter in Digital Asset Reporting
Taxbit’s upgrade reflects a strong commitment to fostering integrity in the digital asset economy. As 66 countries prepare for their first global reporting season under the new rules in 2026, Taxbit’s advancements represent an essential opportunity for consolidating its market leadership.
Erin Fennimore, VP of Tax Solutions at Taxbit, points out the evolving challenges in compliance, stating: _“It’s about simplifying the complexity of regulations while delivering a smooth user experience.”_ The platform empowers clients to turn compliance into a competitive advantage, ensuring that reporting is automated, accurate at scale, and ready for future developments.
