Our consulting service related to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act – FATCA  and Common Reporting Standard  -CRS includes the accompaniment, legal classification and assurance in matters of effective compliance with these financial information frameworks. FATCA is the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act passed in 2010 by the U.S. Congress and aims to identify U.S. taxpayers with accounts in foreign financial institutions (“FFIs”) to obtain the report of such accounts through withholding tax. Foreign financial institutions (FFIs) and foreign non-financial institutions (“NFFEs”) are required to comply with FATCA standards or be subject to withholding tax on certain payments.

CRS is the standard for the automatic exchange of financial account information (“AEOI”) developed by the OECD.
