When is the first DAC8 report due in Germany?

On 31 July 2027, for reporting period 2026. The report goes to the Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt).

Source: Federal Central Tax Office, its own description of the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework procedure.

The data to be collected by reporting providers must be transmitted to the BZSt by 31 July of the following calendar year.

Context

31 January is often quoted. That is the DAC7 deadline for platform operators and is wrong for crypto-assets. An earlier deadline also sits in front of the July date: 1 January 2027 for self-certifications from existing customers.

All deadlines in the countdown
