Vizor Software’s Solution for FATCA & AEOI Selected by the Government of Bermuda, Ministry of Finance Treaty Unit
Dublin, Ireland (PRWEB) June 26, 2017 -- Today, Vizor Ltd. announced the Government of Bermuda, Ministry of Finance, Treaty Unit has selected the Vizor for FATCA & AEOI Solution for Tax Authorities.
Bermuda was the first UK Overseas Territory to have an agreement with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation (OECD) under the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement (MCAA) for the Exchange of ‘Country by Country’ Reports (CbC), and was among the first group of jurisdictions in the world to become an Early Adopter of OECD's other automatic exchange of tax information regime: the 'Common Reporting Standard' (CRS).
Through CRS, Bermuda requires reporting entities to file aspects of their clients' financial information with the Ministry of Finance.
The intention is for Bermuda to use the Vizor platform for the exchange of information under CRS for 2016 year information to share with Bermuda’s CRS partners by September 30th, 2017, thus meeting their reporting obligations under the MCAA for CRS.
“It is an honour to be working with a Tax Authority with such a significant role in the growing world of international tax information exchange,” commented Conor Crowley, Joint CEO of Vizor Software.
The Vizor for FATCA & AEOI solution has also been selected by many jurisdictions, including New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait
