In 2010, the United States enacted FATCA to increase income tax reporting by US taxpayers on assets held in offshore accounts and through “Non-US Entities”.
FATCA, which was aimed at preventing tax evasion by US citizens, the OECD’s Common Reporting Standard (CRS), came into effect on 1 January 2016. This will be the standard for the automatic exchange of taxpayer information by a number of source -countries to the residence countries, i.e. from where is invested to where the investor is tax resident.FATCA imposes new reporting and withholding obligations on foreign financial institutions and certain other foreign persons which must be complied with in order to avoid a 30 percent US withholding tax on certain US-source payments and “passthru” payments that such non-US persons receive.

Since its restructuring in 2009, the Global Forum has become the key international body working on the implementation of the international standards on tax transparency.
The Global Forum ensures that the high standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes are in place around the world through its monitoring and peer review activities.

CRS has been designed to maximize efficiency and reduce costs for financial institutions and draws its approach extensively from the FATCA implementation.
CRS as a reporting regime covers a broad scope across three dimensions:
The UAE has committed to implement the CRS, with the first exchange to take place by September 2018
