U.S. Chapter 4 – FATCA
More commonly known as FATCA, this is an anti-tax evasion regulation aimed at prevention and detection of tax evasion by US Persons by having unreported accounts outside the US.
FATCA requires non-US financial institutions to conduct due diligence on all their account holders, identify US accounts and report them to the IRS on an annual basis.
AEoI and CRS
AEoI is an anti-tax evasion framework to allow tax administrations in partner jurisdictions to bi-laterally or multi-laterally share tax information about non-residents with financial accounts in each partner jurisdiction.
CRS is the standard that financial institutions use to report this information to their tax administrations.
“FATCA and CRS compliance are not one-time projects – they require ongoing resource to stay compliant.”
