Castille Institute is organising two courses entitled ‘The Common Report Standard’ and ‘Investment Funds Update’ on June 27 and 30 respectively.

The CRS is the new, single global standard which obliges financial institutions to report particulars relating to their customers to the tax authorities in their country of tax residence. Under CRS, tax authorities of other jurisdictions signed up to CRS will receive this information for people tax resident in their jurisdiction.

With the first CRS reporting deadline looming in 2017, the aim of this seminar will be to discuss the key requirements and the steps that financial institutions need to take in order to prepare for its broad implementation. The manner in which compliance processes should be enhanced and the measures which need to be taken to ensure adequate reporting is undertaken by financial institutions will be discussed. This seminar will also provide attendees with the opportunity to share thoughts and discuss specific concerns affecting individual business sectors.

The purpose of the Investment Funds Update is to provide practical guidance on the most topical issues surrounding the revisions to the regulatory architecture applicable to investment funds in Malta, with a particular focus on the newly introduced notified AIF regime and the MFSA’s consolidation of the Maltese fund frameworks.
