This innovative and engaging CPD Learning course has been designed to provide the busy practitioner with a comprehensive commentary on FATCA, CRS and other earlier and proposed AEOI initiatives.

The ‘Automatic Exchange of Information’ (‘AEOI’) is the term used to describe the exchange of financial information between countries without either party having to request it. The information, which is required for tax purposes to help combat tax evasion, is exchanged automatically and covers individuals, trusts, companies and other entities.

This CPD Learning course provides a detailed review of the current reporting requirements as well as comprehensive summary on previous initiatives. As more jurisdictions are participating in the automatic exchange of information it is important for practitioners in the field to ensure they have the up-to-date technical knowledge and tools for effective implementation and compliance. You will learn how to:

• Appreciate the need for ‘Automatic Exchange of Information’
• Understand the key principles and purpose behind FATCA and CRS
• Know the information required to be reported under FATCA and CRS and timetables for reporting
• Explain the impact of FATCA and CRS on trusts
• Reflect on the positive and negatives of FATCA and CRS
• Consider the possible future direction of AEOI
• Discuss other international AEOI initiatives
