share
their

with
tax
authorities.
The
European
Union
(EU)
member
state
is
making
this
step
in
response

a
European
directive
β
known
as
DAC8
β
which
requires
crypto
service
providers
in
the
EU
to
collect
and
report
data
about
their
users
to
tax
authorities.
These
authorities
exchange
data
with
other
member
states.

in

βIn
the
future,
EU
member
states
will
be
able
to
cooperate
better
thanks
to
the
exchange
of
data
and
transactions
with
cryptos
[which]
will
become
transparent
to
tax
authorities,”
Idsinga
said.
