Vizor AEOI Implemented by Qatar General Tax Authority

Today, Vizor Software, the market leader in cross-border information exchange solutions for Tax Authorities, announced that Qatar has implemented the Vizor AEOI solution. The General Tax Authority (GTA), a separate entity under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance, State of Qatar, is using the solution to meet its commitment to effectively implement the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) standard. This includes tax sharing requirements as set out under the OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and Country-by-Country (CbC) Reporting, as set out under Action 13 of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) framework. In addition, The Vizor solution will be used to effectively implement the country’s Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) obligations.

The Vizor AEOI solution comprises a single straightforward and extremely user friendly software platform enabling the GTA to meet its full set of international tax information sharing commitments.

“Vizor is very proud to have been selected by Qatar for this project,” remarked Conor Crowley, CEO of Vizor Software. “This is our first contract award that encompassed CRS, CbC, and FATCA in a single accelerated project installation. The successful delivery in such short timelines was enabled by the maturity of the product solution and experience of the team.”

Feature highlights of the Vizor AEOI solution include:

• Extremely user friendly and quick Financial Institution and MNE self-registration and account creation.
