FATCA and CRS

Sparebanken Vest is obliged under Norwegian tax legislation to disclose your financial account information to the Norwegian tax authorities.

This includes obtaining a self-declaration as evidence of the account holder’s domicile status and the tax residence of any beneficial owners.

This information will be passed on to the Norwegian tax authorities, which in turn share it with the tax authorities in countries with which Norway has an agreement to exchange tax information pursuant to FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and CRS (Common Reporting Standard).

If you fail to submit a self-declaration or your self-declaration is incomplete, we will be forced to close your account.

For more information about FATCA and CRS, visit www.skatteetaten.no (in English).
