What is CRS?

The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) is a new information-gathering and reporting requirement for financial institutions. The main objective of CRS is to help tax authorities identify tax payers that have kept their untaxed money in accounts held by foreign financial institutions and therefore discourage such behaviour. CRS is a reporting regime and it does not impose a new taxation regime.

For more information on how this affects you, please see our FAQ guide.
