The Department of Finance Canada has issued a Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement regarding proposed amendments to the country’s AML/ATF regime.

, “Persons and entities that are ‘dealing in virtual currency’ would be financial entities or other entities deemed domestic or foreign MSBs, as the case may be. These ‘dealing in’ activities include virtual currency exchange services and value transfer services. As required of all MSBs, persons and entities dealing in virtual currencies would need to implement a full compliance program and register with FINTRAC. In addition, all reporting entities that receive $10,000 or more in virtual currency (e.g. deposits, any form of payment) would have record-keeping and reporting obligations.”

According to the statement, the changes will not be implemented to provide greater clarity to traders and the exchanges who asked for it. Instead they will be to “close loopholes” and address deficiencies in compliance with the standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (
), the inter-governmental body that sets international benchmarks on combating money laundering and terrorist financing.
