The OECD is a cesspool of klemptomaniacs who want dominance over all areas related to transparency and taxation.

They were the driving force behind the global minimum tax pillar 2 effort, a strong influence towards "encouraging" countries to implement beneficial ownership and asset registries.

Carf is just an effort to take what the FATF did for anti-money laundering and push it further under the guise of preventing tax avoidance.

It stinks, it sucks, I hate it.

If you have specific questions happy to answer them. I work in the space.

Yeah FATF are a shocking construct. If people want to understand how representation is undermined, good place to start. Im mostly just curious on opinions of this push. In Costa Rica, going through Parliament now

Happening worldwide friend.

My country worked on CARF last year.

Well thats just great isnt it. Wonder if anyone will go after fatf at some point. That would be signal

For those who don't know what CARF is it's the crypto asset reporting framework. ANY crypto company (yes maybe even companies who operate nodes processing transactions like ledger depending on how individual countries defined certain terms) need to report transactions regularly to an authority.

Really is an incessant attack on liberty coming out of FATF

People have tried to take countries to court (most recently in the EU for travel rule) and failed. Going after FATF won't work through traditional channels. Too many compliance-mind-virus-infected-zombies out there.
