Channel Islands: Amendments to FATCA and CRS regulations (Jersey)

The government of Jersey issued amendments to the FATCA and CRS regulations.

August 5, 2024

The government of Jersey on July 17, 2024, issued Taxation (Common Reporting Standard and United States of America) (Jersey) Amendment Regulations 2024, which amends the FATCA and common reporting standard (CRS) regulations.

The amendments are as follows:

Regulation 1(1) has been updated to revise the definitions of “business document” and “business premises.”

  • For financial institutions that do not engage in a business, trade, profession, or vocation, a “business document” is any document that an authorized person believes to be relevant, or potentially relevant, to determining the financial institution’s compliance with these regulations.
  • For a financial institution that does not engage in a business, trade, profession, or vocation, a “business premises” is:
    • The address of the financial institution in Jersey, or
    • If the financial institution is a trust, the address of a trustee in Jersey.

A new regulation 18A has been added to the CRS regulations and 8JA has been added to the FATCA regulations, which outlines the requirements and penalties for trusts and partnerships. According to these regulations the requirements or penalties apply as follows:

  • For a trust, each trustee is jointly and severally liable.
  • For a partnership, the partner identified as the responsible partner under Article 20E of the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961.

The regulations do not prevent a penalty imposed on a trust or partnership from being recovered from the assets of the trust or partnership.

Lastly, Regulation 19 of the CRS regulations has been updated to note that, if a person enters into an arrangement solely to avoid obligations under these regulations, the arrangement is deemed not to have been entered into.

The amended regulations became effective July 24, 2024.
