Vizor Software’s Solution for FATCA & AEOI has been Selected by the Government of Saint Christopher (St. Kitts) & Nevis
Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) December 24, 2015 -- Today, Vizor Ltd. announced that the Government of St. Kitts & Nevis has selected the Vizor Software’s FATCA & AEOI Solution for Tax Authorities in order to meet their FATCA and AEOI obligation. The new Vizor system helps gather FATCA returns from financial institutions (FIs) and facilitates the production of an extract for transmission to the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The most notable feature of the solution is an online portal accessed by St. Kitts & Nevis’ FIs to register and report the required account data.
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires Tax Authorities in countries with a signed Model 1 Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the US, to report information to the IRS by September 30th, 2015. Tax Authorities should also ensure that any implemented system provides support for Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) with 98 other jurisdictions in 2016 and beyond.
“We are very pleased to have been selected by St. Kitts & Nevis,” remarked Conor Crowley, Managing Director and Co Founder of Vizor Software. “We have helped several Tax Authorities in the Caribbean, including the British Virgin Islands International Tax Authority and the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority, meet their FATCA & AEOI obligations with our full-service integrated solution built from the ground up to comply with international standards and best-practices, and we look forward to working with St. Kitts & Nevis to do the same.”
To date, St. Kitts and Nevis has exchange of information relationships with 37 jurisdictions through 13 DTCs (Double Tax Conventions) and 24 TIEAs (Tax information Exchange Agreements).
