According to Foresight News, the UK held consultations on Wednesday regarding its plans to implement the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) cryptocurrency reporting framework, with the consultation period ending on May 29th. The UK Treasury has predicted in its budget that implementing the cryptocurrency reporting framework could attract £35 million ($45 million) between 2026 and 2027, and £95 million between 2027 and 2028.
The OECD framework is a new standard aimed at addressing tax non-compliance issues and serves as an update to the existing offshore account framework. Its purpose is to ensure the exchange of relevant cryptocurrency transaction information across jurisdictions. The rules are set to take effect in 2026.
