The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) are global tax transparency initiatives developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) aimed at enhancing the automatic exchange of financial information.

CARF is being introduced for 2026 to specifically address the information reporting needs resulting from the rise of crypto-assets.

On an annual basis, Robinhood Canada is required to share both customer and account information to the governing tax authority in Canada (Canada Revenue Agency or CRA).
Depending on your tax residency, the CRA may share this information with the tax authorities in other jurisdictions applicable to you.
Based on the activity in your account, you may be subject to reporting for CRS, CARF, or both. An example of information reported for CRS would be the total miscellaneous income paid in the tax year. An example of CARF reporting would be the buy or sell transactions for a given crypto, such as Bitcoin. Starting with the 2027 tax year, both CRS and CARF reporting will be required.
Robinhood does not provide tax advice. For specific questions, you should consult a tax professional.
