AEOI (Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information) is a new international standard, designed to enhance tax transparency and combat cross-border tax evasion, that over 100 jurisdictions have committed to its implementation based on the Common Reporting Standard (“CRS”) released by the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) in July 2014. As an international financial center, Hong Kong has committed to implement AEOI and commence the first information exchanges by the end of 2018
Under the Inland Revenue (Amendment) (No. 3) Ordinance 2016 (“the Amendment Ordinance”), Cathay United Bank Company, Limited, Hong Kong Branch (“CUBHK”) is required to identify the tax residence of our account holders. For this purpose, CUBHK will base on information we have already asked or we may ask customers to complete Self-Certification Form to determine customers' tax residence
If a customer is a tax resident in jurisdiction(s)outside of Hong Kong, CUBHK may be required to inform and share information of certain account(s) with HK IRD, and if the IRD has signed an AEOI agreement with that jurisdiction(s).
If you have any specific questions regarding your tax residency, please contact your professional tax adviser. As a financial institution, we are unable to provide any tax advice. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD) has provided information on the tax residency rules applicable in jurisdictions that are committed to automatically exchanging information. You may access the information via the following link: http://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/crs-implementation-and-assistance/tax-residency/#d.en.347760. You may also find useful guidance and further details published by the Inland Revenue Department regarding the AEOI.
