What is Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI)?
The AEOI is the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Common Reporting Standards (CRS) and the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and under these tax regulations and intergovernmental agreements entered into by the relevant competent authority, we are required to collect information about each owner and their tax residency. This information may then be reported to your local tax authority/authorities.
What is required?
In order to comply with these regulations and to obtain the missing information, we ask you to fully complete the online form (AEOI Individual Self-Certification online form) confirming your tax residency and Taxpayers Identification Number (TIN).
We appreciate that not all countries issue TIN’s and when this is the case, you will need to provide us with a functional equivalent instead.
We also understand that not everyone pays tax so may not have a TIN, but you will still be required to provide us with a functional equivalent.
Onward Reporting
Please note that in certain circumstances the information you provide may be disclosed to the relevant competent authority who in turn may exchange this information with tax authorities in other jurisdictions.
