Tax Regulatory Services
The Tax Regulatory Services
Tax regulatory risk arises in relation to withholding taxes, transactional taxes (stamp duties and other transfer taxes) and compliance obligations (identification, documentation and tax reporting) resulting from holding or receiving payments on financial assets.
Tax reguatory was traditionally considered as secondary and was not sufficiently appreciated. However, as net tax transparency and compliance requirements have evolved and increased globally, financial organisations are facing numerous operational tax challenges.
Furthermore, the FATCA and CRS rules impact not only financial service providers but everyone from investor, to life insurance policyholder or beneficiary, all the way to basic account holder.
