In the dynamic landscape of global finance, governments and financial institutions are enacting stringent measures to combat tax evasion and money laundering. Notably, two pivotal initiatives are FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and CRS (Common Reporting Standard).
PrimeFour Consulting, a leading advisory firm specializing in financial services, is dedicated to guiding all business clients through the complexities of these regulations. In 2018, financial institutions in the Middle East, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Lebanon, and Turkey, aligned with the CRS regime, under the expert advisory of PrimeFour.
Under CRS, financial institutions must annually identify customers' tax residency, collect financial account information, exchange relevant details, and report to tax authorities. Customers are required to furnish information like name, address, birthdate, tax residency, and Tax Identification Number. Importantly, CRS requirements may vary across jurisdictions.
Non-compliance poses risks, from commercial and reputational damage to financial penalties. Penalties may be imposed for failure to establish compliance frameworks, document due diligence, identify/report accounts, and ensure accurate reporting.
PrimeFour excels as an advisory partner, guiding financial institutions in fulfilling CRS terms and obligations. This involves periodic checks on Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and CRS documentation requirements, implementation of robust onboarding processes for new customers, application of CRS processes for existing account holders, establishment of comprehensive compliance frameworks, and annual reporting on reportable accounts.
Moreover, PrimeFour extends its expertise to provide Know Your Customer (KYC) advisory and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) advisory support to all business clients. This additional support ensures that clients are not only compliant with tax regulations but also equipped with robust processes for customer identification and thorough due diligence, further fortifying their financial integrity.
At PrimeFour, our specialized Tax Advisory Department plays a crucial role in ensuring client compliance with CRS, classifying entities subject to requirements, analysing process gaps, reporting risks associated with non-compliance, fostering awareness through workshops and blogs, supporting due diligence requirements, assisting with reporting, and reviewing policies to align with CRS requirements and regulations.

Let us say a mobile phone is manufactured and sold through various stages—manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer, and finally to the consumer. At each step, a 5% VAT is applied, and businesses can claim a refund on the VAT they have paid on their purchases.
The standard VAT rate is 5%, but there are categories like zero-rated (0% VAT), exempt (no VAT), and deemed supplies.
Businesses must register for VAT if their taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 per year or voluntarily if it exceeds AED 187,500.
