Customer Tax Operations and Reporting Services (CTORS)

The EY Customer Tax Operations and Reporting Services (CTORS) help your organization to meet its customer-related regulatory tax reporting obligations. Our scalable customer tax operation services are supported by EY tax professionals across the globe and underpinned by leading technology.

Your business challenge

If your business makes payments to customers or other intermediaries, it is likely you face a growing regulatory requirement to report data relating to those customers and payments to tax authorities, and in some cases to withhold a tax element. These regulations impact a wide range of businesses, including financial institutions, digital platforms and payment service providers, and in latest developments, impacted payments can include those made in crypto currencies and e-money.

With both financial penalties and reputational risks for noncompliance, businesses with a customer reporting obligation need:

  • Rigorous yet sensitive data gathering
  • Robust processing and reporting
  • The agility to adapt to ongoing regulatory changes

Explore CTORS

Our services evolve with the regulatory environment, and include support with:

  • Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)
  • Common Reporting Standard (CRS)
  • DAC7 and DAC8 in the EU
  • W-8, W-9, 1099, 1042-S in the US
  • Central Electronic System of Payments (CESOP) in the EU
  • Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF)
     

Whether you’re looking for the reassurance of a quick “health check” or a full managed service, CTORS offerings are scalable and accommodate a range of budgets:
