ARCA to Receive Data From Foreign Digital Wallets Starting February 2026

The shift follows updated OECD CRS 2.0 and EU DAC8 rules extending automatic tax reporting to digital wallets and crypto services.

Overview

  • Argentina’s tax agency will move beyond banks to include international wallets and online payment platforms in automatic information exchange beginning in February 2026.
  • Reporting is determined by where a platform is regulated, so EU‑supervised services such as Wise, Revolut, N26 and Payoneer’s European unit can transmit user data, while PayPal is not covered by the CRS regime.
  • Shared fields can include the holder’s identity and tax residence, CUIT/CUIL, wallet or account identifiers, year‑end balances, reported income and relevant transactions.
  • An ARCA resolution shifts from one‑off operation reports to compiling complete taxpayer histories, enabling continuous profiles built from wallets, exchanges and historical movements.
  • Data for the 2026 year will circulate among jurisdictions during 2026, with the first systematic cross‑checks against Argentine filings expected in 2027, affecting freelancers and others paid through foreign platforms.
