🇪🇺📌 The EU crypto market is moving into a new reality - full tax transparency in the crypto sector.

Starting from 2026, the European Union will apply DAC8 - a directive introducing the automatic exchange of information on crypto-assets between EU tax authorities

🔎 What does this mean for the crypto market?
Crypto transactions will no longer remain “invisible” to the state.

🏦 Crypto platforms and service providers will be required to report:
🔹 user data;
🔹 transaction information;
🔹 account balances;
🔹 data on exchanges and transfers.

📅 How will the system be implemented? Learn more in the new LexTalk video.

📢 Tax Trends Q2 2026 ➡️ From Harmonisation of Rules to Harmonisation of Enforcement

📊 Q2 2026 confirms a new direction in global taxation: the focus is no longer on creating new tax rules, but on aligning how those rules are monitored, administered, and enforced across jurisdictions.

Businesses no longer operate simply within different tax systems — they now operate within a global infrastructure of transparency, data exchange, and coordinated tax control.

Below are three key developments shaping this transition:

1) 📝 OECD Side-by-Side Regime: Partial Erosion of Pillar Two Universality

In 2026, the OECD formalised the Side-by-Side (SbS) approach as a permanent element of the Pillar Two framework. Its core idea is the recognition that the global minimum tax is not fully universal in its practical application.

This approach is закрепed through the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework - Side-by-Side package (2026).

➡️ Practical implications include:

🔹 certain multinational groups obtaining more stable safe harbour treatment;

🔹 reduced exposure to IIR/UTPR application within specific structures;

🔹 a more flexible interaction model between jurisdictions, particularly in relation to major economies outside the EU.

This marks the first clear indication that Pillar Two is evolving not as a rigid global standard, but as a modular framework with negotiated exceptions and differentiated application mechanisms.

2) 💻 DAC9 (EU): Centralisation of Group Tax Reporting

The European Union is moving into the next stage of tax integration through DAC9, which changes not the tax rates or substantive rules, but the administrative model itself.

The key concept is that multinational groups will submit a single consolidated Pillar Two return (TTIR), after which the information will be automatically distributed among EU tax authorities, significantly reducing duplicative local filings.

In practice, this creates the first operational element of a unified EU tax gateway for corporate taxation.

3)🗂️ OECD GloBE Toolkit 2026: Standardisation of Tax Audits and Enforcement

The 2026 OECD GloBE updates shift the focus from tax calculation methodology toward the harmonisation of tax audits and enforcement procedures.

The new framework introduces:

🔹 a standardised GloBE Information Return (GIR);

🔹 unified risk assessment models for top-up tax exposure;

🔹 automated cross-border data exchange mechanisms for audit purposes.

As a result, tax authorities across jurisdictions are beginning to operate under increasingly aligned enforcement logic - not only in theory, but also in day-to-day audit practice and operational control.

The global tax landscape is entering a new phase where competitive advantage is determined not only by tax structuring, but by the ability to operate transparently within interconnected compliance systems.

The central trend of Q2 2026 is therefore clear: the world is moving from harmonisation of tax rules toward harmonisation of tax enforcement.

🇨🇷 Corporate changes in Costa Rica: what companies should know

Costa Rica has introduced important updates for companies operating in the jurisdiction.

➡️ Starting from May 2025, newly incorporated S.A. and S.R.L. companies will no longer use a traditional company name. Instead, they will be identified by their corporate registry number, which must be indicated in all official documents.

📊 Companies are also required to submit information on their ultimate beneficial owners to the Transparency and Final Beneficiaries Registry (RTBF) annually by April 30.

📢 In addition, from June 2026, companies will be required to have a mandatory corporate email address for receiving official communications.

For support with corporate compliance in 🇨🇷 Costa Rica, contact Lextensio.

📢 Summer 2026 is the season of networking and tech events that make you want to launch a new startup

While some people are putting their laptops away until autumn, the tech world is already booking tickets to the biggest events of the summer. And honestly, this line-up looks stronger than half of Netflix’s new releases.

🔽 Top 5 must-visit conferences this summer:

🇬🇧 London Tech Week
8–12 June | London, United Kingdom

For a few days, London once again becomes the center of the global tech community.
Founders, investors, startups, big tech, and enterprise companies gather in one place to talk about the future of technology, business, and the digital ecosystem.
It’s the kind of event where you can casually end up standing next to someone who either already built a unicorn — or is currently looking for the next one to invest in. One of those conferences after which your LinkedIn starts living its own life.

🇳🇱 Financing the Future by Hello Tomorrow
11 June | Amsterdam, Netherlands

This event is for people who love technology not just for the polished presentations, but for the real ideas capable of transforming industries.
Deep tech, startups, investments, and founders who are already working on things the rest of the world will only start talking about in a few years.
Amsterdam in June is already beautiful — but add tech networking to the mix, and it becomes especially dangerous for your calendar.

🇪🇸 AWSummit Ibiza
15–17 June | Ibiza, Spain

Probably the best place to completely erase the line between a “business trip” and a “summer lifestyle.”
Affiliate marketing, iGaming, media buying, fintech, and digital marketing all come together in Ibiza for panels, meetings, and networking by the sea.

🇨🇾 iFX EXPO International
17–19 June | Limassol, Cyprus

One of the biggest summer events for fintech, crypto, payments, and online trading.
Brokers, payment providers, fintech companies, and affiliate teams from all over the world fly to Cyprus for new partnerships and industry insights.
Lextensio has already packed its suitcases for the trip, so the sun, the sea, and our team will be happy to see you in Limassol. If you’re planning to attend iFX EXPO too, now’s the perfect time to start booking meetings and filling your calendar with networking events.

🇭🇰 Wiki Finance EXPO Hong Kong 2026
22–23 July | Hong Kong

The final stop of the summer conference season — a large-scale expo for fintech, blockchain, forex, and digital finance.
Asian markets, international companies, trading platforms, fintech solutions, and seriously strong international networking.
Hong Kong in July is basically a speedrun into the world of global finance, where in a single day you can make more valuable connections than during a month of Zoom calls.

Looks like Summer 2026 officially won’t be about “taking a break,” but about new connections, collaborations, and last-minute flight bookings.
