What are our clients saying?
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development‘s Common Reporting Standard (CRS)–a cross-border account holder disclosure regime in force in over 100 countries worldwide, including most of the world’s leading financial centres–requires that entities qualifying as Financial Institutions, including banks, trusts/foundation and investment companies and funds, identify and disclose the account holders and/or beneficial owners of the financial accounts they maintain. This information is automatically exchanged with the tax authorities in the jurisdiction of residence of the account holders and/or beneficial owners. Non-compliance with the regime is subject to severe penalties and enforcement through audits and other requirements is increasing. In many jurisdictions, a written CRS compliance program is mandatory.

This set of three DAC6 Template Notification Letters–
- Legal Professional Privilege (LPP) to Other Intermediaries Notification Template
- Legal Professional Privilege (LPP) to Relevant Taxpayers Notification Template
- Non-EU Intermediary Notification Template
covers typical situations in which a fiduciary cannot submit a DAC6 report. In these situations, the fiduciary‘s disclosure is either barred by Legal Professional Privilege or the fiduciary is not located in an EU jurisdiction and thus not eligible to file a report. As such, the fiduciary is obliged under law (or elects as a client service) to inform other parties to the transaction about the potential DAC6 consequences for them.
