It should not be seen as a mandatory form.  \nEach financial Institution is free to use its own form, but as a minimum a financial institution should collect the mandatory data detailed in the CRS commentary in accordance with local rules and guidance. Each Financial Institution also may need to modify this form based on local rules, for example, to omit fields that are not permitted to be collected under applicable law.  \nFields marked with a * are mandatory, subject to variations in local rules. Financial Institutions may also be able to collect the information required to be reported in another way (i.e., other than on the self-certification) . For a self-certification to be valid, however, it generally must contain the Account Holder’s (i) name,(ii) address, (iii) jurisdiction(s) of residence for tax purposes, and (iv) tax identifying number for each Reportable Jurisdiction. Jurisdictions adopting the wider approach may require that the self-certification include a tax identifying number for each jurisdiction of residence (rather than for each Reportable Jurisdiction).  \nFinancial Institutions should consider the blue text contained in square brackets and use the language that fits their operational needs. For example, in Part 4 a Financial Institution should choose the time-limits applicable to its own procedures, (for example “30 days”) . In Part 4, please also note that the CRS does not require a Financial Institution to collect a certified copy of the power of attorney; the form includes this language as optional on the part of the Financial Institution.  \nIf a Financial Institution knows or has reason to know that a self-certification is incorrect, it is expected that in the course of the account opening procedures the Reporting Financial Institution would obtain either (i) a valid selfcertification, or (ii) a reasonable explanation and documentation (as appropriate) supporting the reasonableness of the self-certification (and retain a copy or a notation of such explanation and documentation) .  \nFebruary 2016  \nEntity tax residency self-certification form INSTRUCTIONS  \nCRS-E  \nPlease read these instructions before completing the form.  \n“Regulations based on the OECD Common Reporting Standard (“CRS”)”] require [insert “Financial Institutions” or insert the individual Financial Institution’s name] to collect and report certain information about an account holder’s tax residency. If the account holder’s tax residence is located outside [insert : individual country name (e.g. Italy) or following text “the country where the FI maintaining the account is located”], we may be legally obliged to pass on the information in this form and other financial information with respect to your financial accounts to [insert: name of local tax authorities (e.g. HMRC) or text” the tax authorities in the country where the FI is located”] and they may exchange this information with tax authorities of another jurisdiction or jurisdictions pursuant to intergovernmental agreements to exchange financial account information.  \nYou can find summaries of defined terms such as an account holder, and other terms, in the Appendix.  \nThis form will remain valid unless there is a change in circumstances relating to information, such as the acount holder’stax status or other mandatory field information, that makes this form incorrect or incomplete. In that case you must notify us and provide an updated self-certification.  \nThis form is inten","cbCaip0SAHOkmTMv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip0SAHOkmTMv","pdf",1625433,"English","# Entity tax residency self-certification form INSTRUCTIONS\n## CRS data collection and reporting purpose\n## Validity, updates, and handling incorrect self-certifications\n## Completing the form for different account holder types\n## Additional guidance for tax advice and controlling persons","[{\"question\":\"Who should complete the entity tax residency self-certification form?\",\"answer\":\"Financial institutions should complete it when self-certifying on behalf of an entity account holder.
