- Banks and insurance companies—read a June 2021 report [PDF 141 KB] prepared by the KPMG member firm in Liechtenstein
Both guidance items explain the rules for the CRS and FATCA controls. For instance, risk-based controls are to be conducted to meet CRS and FATCA compliance obligations of Liechtenstein financial institutions and bank paying agents. These controls are either conducted by the tax administration (STV) or by third parties (auditors, auditing companies, and statutory auditors) and pursuant to specifications of the STV when using third-party administrators.
