There were also 60 abstentions in the plenary session, which took place in Strasbourg, France.
DAC8 aims to give tax authorities the power to monitor and tax all cryptocurrency transactions made by organizations or individuals within the EU member states.
The rule is the eighth version of the Directive on Administrative Cooperation, which is a framework for exchanging tax information among EU countries.
