Certain US laws and regulations with respect to insurance products applies to an individual with authority over the product or an individual or an entity physically located in or acting from within US either on a temporary or permanent basis ("US Person").

Common Reporting Standards (CRS)

CRS overview

To help fight against tax evasion and protect the integrity of tax systems, governments around the world are introducing a new information-gathering and reporting requirement for financial institutions. This is known as the Common Reporting Standard ("the CRS") and we'd like to help you understand what it means for you.

Under the CRS, we are required to determine where you are "tax resident" (this will usually be where you are liable to pay income taxes). We will base this on information we have already or we may ask you for additional details.

If you are tax resident/paying taxes outside the country/region where you bank then we may be required to give the national tax authority this information, along with information relating to your policies. This may then be shared between different countries/regions' tax authorities.

What do you need to do?

Singapore will participate in the CRS from 1 January 2017. If you have any questions regarding your tax residency, please refer to the rules governing tax residence that have been published by each national tax authority. If you have any specific questions regarding your tax residency, please contact a professional tax adviser, as we are unable to provide tax advice. You may also find useful guidance on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development CRS portal.
