Your business challenge

If your business makes payments to customers or other intermediaries, it is likely you face a growing regulatory requirement to report data relating to those customers and payments to tax authorities, and in some cases to withhold a tax element. These regulations impact a wide range of businesses, including financial institutions, digital platforms and payment service providers, and in latest developments, impacted payments can include those made in crypto currencies and e-money.

With both financial penalties and reputational risks for noncompliance with regimes such as FATCA, CRS, DAC6 etc., businesses with a customer reporting obligation need:

  • Rigorous yet sensitive data gathering
  • Robust processing and reporting
  • The agility to adapt to evolving regulations
