About this Event
The brief
Purpose. This session gives financial institutions a practical view of what changes in tax transparency reporting from 2027, where compliance usually breaks down, and how AI and automation can close those gaps. It aims to move the conversation from "what is the rule" to "how do we run it well".
Why now. 2027 is a key year for tax transparency in Singapore:
CRS 2.0 (the amended Common Reporting Standard) takes effect in Singapore on 1 January 2027. It brings e-money products, central bank digital currencies and certain indirect crypto-asset holdings into scope, and adds new due diligence and reporting fields. The first CRS 2.0 returns are due by 31 May 2028.
CARF (the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework) applies to Singapore crypto-asset service providers from the 2027 reporting period, with international exchanges expected in 2028.
In other jurisdictions, including the EU (under DAC8) and the UK, CARF data collection began in 2026, with first exchanges in 2027. Groups with operations across borders face both timelines.
FATCA reporting continues alongside these regimes. Tax authorities are paying closer attention to missing or invalid TINs and to weak self-certification processes.
What attendees take away
A clear timeline of the FATCA, CRS 2.0 and CARF obligations that apply to their institution.
The most common causes of non-compliance, including TIN validation failures, and what they cost.
A best-practice checklist for onboarding, self-certification, remediation and reporting.
Realistic use cases for AI and automation, and the controls they need.
A phased roadmap they can take back to their teams and adapt.
Evening agenda
The evening runs about 2.5 hours. The 50-minute presentation sits at the centre, with a short Q&A and time to network at the end.
