France Proposes Bill to Share Crypto Tax Data with 48 Nations

Bill No. 921 aims to integrate OECD CARF into French law, enabling automatic crypto tax data exchange with 48 countries, including transaction values and user identities.

Woofun AI reports that French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot submitted Bill No. 921 to the Senate on July 17, seeking to incorporate the OECD's Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) into domestic legislation. This measure would facilitate the automatic exchange of cryptocurrency data with 48 signatory nations, covering transaction details, user names, addresses, tax IDs, residence locations, and total transaction values over specified periods.

While EU member states have already initiated such data exchanges under a directive effective September 30, 2027, the approval of this bill would accelerate France's crypto data collection efforts. A Chainalysis report indicates that as of 2026, France has recorded 30 publicly known violent crime cases involving crypto assets, alongside allegations that a Paris-area tax official is suspected of selling data on high-net-worth crypto holders.
