Canada for 2027 :

Cryptocurrency :

• obligations, according to legislation introduced in

• the federal government's 2024 budget.

The Canadian government has said it intends to implement the Encrypted Assets

 Reporting Framework (CARF).

This framework covers a mission endorsed by the G20 in April 2021 that asked

• the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)

• to develop a system that facilitates the automatic exchange of

• tax information on encrypted assets.

Demo :

Canada's budget proposed 51.6 million Canadian dollars (US $37.3 million)

for the Canadian Revenue Agency over a five-year period beginning in 2024-2025.

This will be followed by an annual allocation of C $7.3 million (US $5.2 million)

for subsequent years to cover implementation and management costs.

Future annual :

reporting obligations will be applicable to cryptocurrency service :

• providers residing in Canada or operating within its legal jurisdiction.

• These will include exchange platforms, cryptocurrency brokers

• traders and cryptocurrency ATM operators.

Canada implements :

procedures to track cryptocurrency transactions.

Under this system :

• the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) will require annual

• transaction value reports that include exchanges between cryptocurrencies

• various cryptocurrencies, and cryptocurrency transfers.

However :

the encrypted assets to report will not include central digital banking

cryptocurrencies (CBDCs) and other electronic money products.

Instead :

these currencies will be included within the scope of

expanded reporting of the current OECD common standard.

Additionally :

cryptocurrency providers will be obliged to report on their customers' details

including full names, residential addresses, birth dates, residence jurisdictions

and tax identification numbers. Reporting requirements

include both customers residing in Canada and non-residents.

These actions are scheduled to be implemented in 2026

with the exchange of reported information commenced in 2027.

Public funds :

face restrictions on cryptocurrency investments.

In January, Canada's securities watchdog proposed regulations for public

investment funds wishing to be exposed to digital assets.

Notes that the proposal restricts the purchase, sale and acquisition of digital

assets directly to alternative mutual funds and non-convertible investment funds.

In addition, public funds provided for digital assets will be barred from acquiring

or acquiring NFTs because of their "incompatible characteristics

with the products of investment funds provided to ordinary investors."
