The AEOI are agreements made between the UK and other countries around the world to help fight worldwide tax evasion. The UK has agreements to exchange financial account information under two laws called the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the Common Reporting Standard (CRS).
Every year, we must send information about our customers to the tax authorities if our records show that they're reportable under these rules. This means that we must check with you that the information we hold, such as your tax residency, is correct so that we're only sharing your information when we legally have to.
Tax residency is determined by different rules in each individual country. It's possible to be resident for tax purposes in more than one country, even if you aren't a taxpayer.
You can find out more about each law below.
