CRS applies to a wide range of financial accounts held by Individuals and entities. These includes:

  • Depository account (e.g. savings or checking accounts)
  • Custodial accounts (e.g. Investment portfolio)
  • Equity or debt interests in Investment entities
  • Cash value insurance contracts
  • Annuity contracts.

All accounts must be reviewed by Samoan RFIs to determine if they are held by non-residents and therefore reportable.
