Hong Kong Passes Crypto Tax Law Requiring User Data Collection From 2027
Current overview (not historical)
Hong Kong's Legislative Council passed the Inland Revenue (Amendment) Bill 2026 on November 4, 2026, implementing the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework and requiring crypto asset service providers to collect customer transaction data starting in 2027. Cross-border information exchange with partner jurisdictions is set to begin in 2028. The amended Common Reporting Standard also takes effect in 2028, extending to digital financial products, with automatic exchange starting in 2029. CoinDesk reported that the measure aims to strengthen crypto-asset tax regulation and cross-border information exchange.
