General Goal
Offshore tax evasion is a serious global issue. Many countries have sought to protect the integrity of their tax systems and apply regulations similar to the FATCA regulations imposed by the USA for the benefit of their own state to collect information about their taxpayers across the globe. The CRS draws extensively on the intergovernmental approach to implementing FATCA. This program will assist you in understanding FATCA & CRS and how exactly candidates can implement their requirements, including Registration, Documentation, Due diligence, Implementation and reporting. Everything is explained easily in detail and followed with examples and cases studies. The study guide of this program is constructed in a very organized manner, utilizing the "Know-How" Concept to assist candidates in exercising the skills you obtain from the program in a very practical way.Issued by: Global Compliance Institute (GCI) / AUS
