Starting from January 1, 2027, all CRS returns in XML format, including past returns, must be prepared and submitted using the OECD’s CRS XML schema v3.0.
The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) on August 18, 2025, announced that, starting from January 1, 2027, all common reporting standard (CRS) returns in XML format, including past returns, must be prepared and submitted using the OECD’s CRS XML schema v3.0.
