Switzerland is advancing plans to implement automatic sharing of cryptocurrency-related tax information with 74 partner countries, including all EU member states and the United Kingdom. The Swiss Federal Council announced the adoption of a bill allowing this exchange, expected to come into effect on January 1, 2026, with the first data exchanges scheduled for 2027. Notably, the measure will not apply to the United States, Saudi Arabia, or China. This proposal follows a previous dispatch regarding the legal frameworks for such exchanges, approved by the Federal Council in February 2025. The council emphasized the need to review whether partner countries comply with the AEOI standards prior to data exchange, suggesting amendments to existing federal decrees to accommodate crypto-specific requirements. This initiative marks a significant step towards enhancing international cooperation in the realm of cryptocurrency regulations and tax compliance.
