What is FATCA CRS reporting?

CRS (Common Reporting Standard) reporting is a global standard for the automatic exchange of financial account information between tax authorities of different countries. Similar to FATCA, CRS aims to combat tax evasion by ensuring that financial account information is reported to the relevant tax authorities, thus enabling them to identify and address cases of undeclared offshore assets and income.

Under CRS, financial institutions in participating countries are required to collect certain information about their account holders, including individuals and entities, and report this information to their local tax authorities. This information includes details such as account balances, interest, dividends, and other income earned on financial accounts held by non-residents.

The tax authorities then exchange this information with the tax authorities of other participating jurisdictions on an annual basis, allowing each country to identify and tax income earned by their residents from foreign financial assets.

CRS NIL reporting

Luxembourg Reporting Financial Institutions are required to communicate a zero value message (ZeroReporting) when they do not have Reportable Accounts.

We can provide cost efficient solution to produce your Zero reporting including the filing to the ACD.

  • Financial Institution Information: This includes the name, address, and tax identification number of the financial institution holding the account.
  • Account Holder Information: This includes the name, address, tax identification number (TIN), date of birth, and country of tax residence of the account holder.

What is the consequence of incorrect or delayed submission of CRS reports?

In the event of either a complete failure to submit a report or a delayed filing of a NIL return, these institutions may be held accountable for a fixed fine of EUR 10,000. However, Luxembourg reporting financial institutions have the opportunity to present justifications, such as a change in legal status, to the ACD before this fixed fine is enforced.

Additionally, these reporting financial institutions could face fines of up to EUR 250,000 if, following an audit by the ACD, it is determined that they have not fulfilled their obligations as required.
