Sphere FATCA/CRS
Automated tax-compliance reporting for FATCA and the OECD Common Reporting Standard — from account classification and due diligence through to schema-valid, submission-ready XML returns.
Meet every reporting deadline — across every jurisdiction you operate in.
Sphere FATCA/CRS classifies account holders, captures and validates self-certifications, identifies US and reportable-person indicia, and assembles fully schema-valid returns in the IRS FATCA and OECD CRS XML formats. The result is a single, auditable workflow that turns scattered account data into accurate filings your tax authority will accept the first time.
The full FATCA & CRS lifecycle, automated.
Automated classification
Classify entities and individuals against FATCA and CRS rules — FFI categories, active and passive NFFEs, controlling persons and reportable jurisdictions — with results that update as account data changes.
Self-certification management
Capture, validate and track W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-9 and CRS self-certifications, with reasonableness checks, expiry tracking and structured cure workflows for incomplete forms.
Indicia detection & due diligence
Surface US and reportable-person indicia across new and pre-existing accounts, applying the right level of documentary review and chasing missing evidence automatically.
Schema-valid XML reporting
Generate returns in the IRS FATCA XML and OECD CRS XML schemas, validated against the latest versions before they ever leave the system — no rejected filings.
Submission-ready output & nil reporting
Produce packages ready for IDES and local tax-authority portals, including nil returns where required, with full versioning of corrections, amendments and voids.
TIN validation & multi-jurisdiction
Validate TIN formats per jurisdiction, manage many reporting entities from one console, and keep an immutable audit trail of every classification, certification and filing.
Turn tax-reporting season into a non-event.
