An Integrated Solution for
Global Reporting Compliance
UNDERSTANDING FATCA AND CRS
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is intended to combat
US income tax avoidance by creating a new information reporting and
withholding regime for payments made to foreign (i.e. non-US) financial
institutions (FFIs) and other foreign entities.
The Common Reporting Standard (CRS), developed by the Organisation
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), is a global reporting
standard for the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI). The goal
of CRS is to allow tax authorities to obtain a clearer understanding of
financial assets held abroad by their residents, for tax purposes.
While FATCA and CRS have similar characteristics on the surface, there
are differences that make universal compliance complex and challenging.
