The EU's DAC8 directive is now in full effect, reshaping compliance requirements across the exchange landscape. Under this regulatory framework, trading platforms must now actively report user identities and complete trade histories to tax authorities across member states. This marks a significant shift in how exchanges handle user data and tax compliance obligations. For traders and investors operating within EU jurisdictions, understanding these reporting requirements becomes essential, as exchanges are mandated to maintain detailed records and ensure timely submission to relevant tax bodies.
