We want to remind you that FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and CRS (Common Reporting Standard) are two main laws/standards in the field of control and regulation of tax evasion using offshore jurisdictions and ensuring transparency of tax information in the United States, Europe and other countries. In accordance with the requirements of these standards, individuals and legal entities must submit financial information annually.

New deadlines for CRS:
- British Virgin Islands – from May 31 to July 31;
- Bermuda – from May 31 to July 15;
- India – from May 31 to June 30;
