Bulgaria’s National Assembly approved final amendments requiring crypto-asset service providers to register and report detailed customer and transaction data to the National Revenue Agency. The Sept. 9 vote passed 149–0 in the 240-seat chamber, with 10 abstentions. The Cabinet-backed legislation transposes two EU directives, including DAC8, and requires providers to collect names, addresses, dates and places of birth, tax identification numbers and tax residences. Reportable activity includes crypto purchases, sales, transfers, crypto-to-crypto exchanges and transactions involving fiat currencies. The framework enables tax authorities in EU member states and participating jurisdictions to exchange information, with reporting applying from Jan. 1, 2026 and first full-year reports due in 2027. It operates alongside the OECD’s CARF framework, which expands similar information sharing beyond the EU.
