FATCA/CRS

In the ever-evolving global regulatory landscape, the OECD and local governments continue to implement international regulations to combat tax evasion by taxpayers on their foreign financial accounts and cross-border investments.

Clients may hold one or more entities with investment accounts, which under FATCA, the IGAs, or CRS may have to be classified as financial institutions.

At Amicorp, we continue to maintain close monitoring of all new regulations. We are well-positioned to help you meet all the reporting requirements. Our compliance team can help financial institutions, family offices, high-net-worth individuals, asset and fund managers with all the FATCA and CRS compliance requirements, from entity classification, registration at local and IRS portals, due diligence on account holders, annual reporting of FATCA and CRS reportable accounts and completing W8 and self-certification forms.

Our FATCA/CRS services include

Entity Classification

Determine the classification of an entity as Financial Institution-Investment Entity (FI-Investment Entity) or Non-Financial Entity (NFE), either Passive NFE or Active NFE. The FATCA and CRS Classification reports will be prepared and are accessible through our online portal giving full insight into classification and the basis of classification. Classifications will be aligned with the respective banks / FI’s where financial accounts are held.
