1. § Az Országgyűlés e törvénnyel felhatalmazást ad a pénzügyi számlákkal kapcsolatos információk automatikus cseréjéről szóló, illetékes hatóságok közötti többoldalú Megállapodás (a továbbiakban: Megállapodás) kötelező hatályának elismerésére az 1. mellékletben meghatározott államok viszonylatában.
2. § Az Országgyűlés a Megállapodást e törvénnyel kihirdeti.
3. § A Megállapodás és az annak értelmezésére vonatkozó szabályokat tartalmazó Közös Jelentéstételi Előírás hiteles angol nyelvű szövege és azok hivatalos magyar fordítása a következő:
Whereas, the jurisdictions of the signatories to the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information (the „Agreement”) are Parties of, or territories covered by, the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters or the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters as amended by the Protocol amending the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters (the „Convention”) or have signed or expressed their intention to sign the Convention and acknowledge that the Convention must be in force and in effect in relation to them before the first exchange of financial account information takes place;
Whereas, the jurisdictions intend to improve international tax compliance by further building on their relationship with respect to mutual assistance in tax matters;
Whereas, the Common Reporting Standard was developed by the OECD, with G20 countries, to tackle tax avoidance and evasion and improve tax compliance;
Whereas, a country that has signed or expressed its intention to sign the Convention will only become a Jurisdiction as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement once it has become a Party to the Convention;
Whereas, the laws of the respective Jurisdictions require or are expected to require financial institutions to report information regarding certain accounts and follow related due diligence procedures, consistent with the scope of exchange contemplated by Section 2 of this Agreement and the reporting and due diligence procedures set out in the Common Reporting Standard;
Whereas, it is expected that the laws of the Jurisdictions would be amended from time to time to reflect updates to the Common Reporting Standard and once such changes are enacted by a Jurisdiction the definition of Common Reporting Standard would be deemed to refer to the updated version in respect of that Jurisdiction;
Whereas, Chapter III of the Convention authorises the exchange of information for tax purposes, including the exchange of information on an automatic basis, and allows the competent authorities of the Jurisdictions to agree the scope and modalities of such automatic exchanges;
Whereas, Article 6 of the Convention provides that two or more Parties can mutually agree to exchange information automatically, the exchange of the information will be on a bilateral basis between the Competent Authorities; Whereas, the Jurisdictions have, or are expected to have, in place by the time the first exchange takes place (i) appropriate safeguards to ensure that the information received pursuant to this Agreement remains confidential and is used solely for the purposes set out in the Convention, and (ii) the infrastructure for an effective exchange relationship (including established processes for ensuring timely, accurate, and confidential information exchanges, effective and reliable communications, and capabilities to promptly resolve questions and concerns about exchanges or requests for exchanges and to administer the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement);
Whereas, the Competent Authorities of the jurisdictions intend to conclude an agreement to improve international tax compliance based on automatic exchange pursuant to the Convention, without prejudice to national legislative procedures (if any), respecting EU law (if applicable), and subject to the confidentiality and other protections provided for in the Convention, including the provisions limiting the use of the information exchanged thereunder; Now, therefore, the Competent Authorities have agreed as follows:
1. For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:
a) the term „Jurisdiction” means a country or a territory in respect of which the Convention is in force and is in effect, either through signature and ratification in accordance with Article 28, or through territorial extension in accordance with Article 29, and which is a signatory to this Agreement.
b) the term „Competent Authority” means, for each respective Jurisdiction, the persons and authorities listed in Annex B of the Convention.
c) the term „Jurisdiction Financial Institution” means, for each respective Jurisdiction, (i) any Financial Institution that is resident in the Jurisdiction, but excludes any branch of that Financial Institution that is located outside the Jurisdiction, and (ii) any branch of a Financial Institution that is not resident in the Jurisdiction, if that branch is located in the Jurisdiction.
d) the term „Reporting Financial Institution” means any Jurisdiction Financial Institution that is not a Non-Reporting Financial Institution.
e) the term „Reportable Account” means a Financial Account that is maintained by a Reporting Financial Institution and that, pursuant to due diligence procedures consistent with the Common Reporting Standard, has been identified as an account that is held by one or more persons that are Reportable Persons with respect to another Jurisdiction or by a Passive Non-Financial Entity with one or more Controlling Persons that are Reportable Persons with respect to another Jurisdiction.
f) the term „Common Reporting Standard” means the standard for automatic exchange of financial account information in tax matters (which includes the Commentaries), developed by the OECD, with G20 countries.
g) the term „Co-ordinating Body Secretariat” means the OECD Secretariat that, pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article 24 of the Convention, provides support to the co-ordinating body that is composed of representatives of the competent authorities of the Parties to the Convention.
h) the term „Agreement in effect” means, in respect of any two Competent Authorities, that both Competent Authorities have indicated their intention to automatically exchange information with each other and have satisfied the other conditions set out in subparagraph 2.1. of Section 7. The Competent Authorities for which this Agreement is in effect are listed in Annex E.
2. Any capitalised term not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meaning that it has at that time under the law of the Jurisdiction applying the Agreement, such meaning being consistent with the meaning set forth in the Common Reporting Standard. Any term not otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the Common Reporting Standard will, unless the context otherwise requires or the Competent Authorities agree to a common meaning (as permitted by domestic law), have the meaning that it has at that time under the law of the Jurisdiction applying this Agreement, any meaning under the applicable tax laws of that Jurisdiction prevailing over a meaning given to the term under other laws of that Jurisdiction.
1.1. Pursuant to the provisions of Articles 6 and 22 of the Convention and subject to the applicable reporting and due diligence rules consistent with the Common Reporting Standard, each Competent Authority will annually exchange with the other Competent Authorities, with respect to which it has this Agreement in effect, on an automatic basis the information obtained pursuant to such rules and specified in paragraph 2.
1.2. Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the Competent Authorities of the Jurisdictions listed in Annex A will send, but not receive, the information specified in paragraph 2.

g) in the case of any account not described in subparagraph 2(e) or (f), the total gross amount paid or credited to the Account Holder with respect to the account during the calendar year or other appropriate reporting period with respect to which the Reporting Financial Institution is the obligor or debtor, including the aggregate amount of any redemption payments made to the Account Holder during the calendar year or other appropriate reporting period.
1. For the purposes of the exchange of information in Section 2, the amount and characterization of payments made with respect to a Reportable Account may be determined in accordance with the principles of the tax laws of the Jurisdiction exchanging the information.
2. For the purposes of the exchange of information in Section 2, the information exchanged will identify the currency in which each relevant amount is denominated.

2. A Competent Authority will notify the Co-ordinating Body Secretariat immediately regarding any breach of confidentiality or failure of safeguards and any sanctions and remedial actions consequently imposed. The Co-ordinating Body Secretariat will notify all Competent Authorities with respect to which this is an Agreement in effect with the first mentioned Competent Authority.
1. If any difficulties in the implementation or interpretation of this Agreement arise, a Competent Authority may request consultations with one or more of the Competent Authorities to develop appropriate measures to ensure that this Agreement is fulfilled. The Competent Authority that requested the consultations shall ensure, as appropriate, that the Co-ordinating Body Secretariat is notified of any measures that were developed and the Co-ordinating Body Secretariat will notify all Competent Authorities, even those that did not participate in the consultations, of any measures that were developed.
2. This Agreement may be amended by consensus by written agreement of all of the Competent Authorities that have the Agreement in effect. Unless otherwise agreed upon, such an amendment is effective on the first day of the month following the expiration of a period of one month after the date of the last signature of such written agreement.

Mivel az illetékes hatóságok között a pénzügyi számlákkal kapcsolatos információk automatikus cseréjének tárgyában létrejött többoldalú megállapodás (a „Megállapodás”) aláíróinak joghatóságai az adóügyekben történő kölcsönös adminisztratív segítségnyújtásról szóló Egyezmény, vagy az adóügyekben történő kölcsönös adminisztratív segítségnyújtásról szóló Egyezményt Módosító Jegyzőkönyvvel módosított adóügyekben történő kölcsönös adminisztratív segítségnyújtásról szóló Egyezmény (az „Egyezmény”) Részes felei vagy az Egyezmény hatálya alatt álló területek, vagy aláírták az Egyezményt, vagy annak aláírására irányuló szándékukat kinyilvánították, és elismerik, hogy az Egyezménynek hatályba kell lépnie és viszonylatukban érvényben kell lennie, mielőtt a pénzügyi számlák vonatkozásában sor kerül az első információcserére;
Mivel a joghatóságok tovább építve a kölcsönös adóügyi segítségnyújtás tekintetében meglévő kapcsolatukra, fokozni szándékoznak a nemzetközi adóügyi megfelelést;
Mivel a Gazdasági Együttműködési és Fejlesztési Szervezet a G20 országaival együtt az adóelkerülés és az adócsalás visszaszorítása, illetve az adóügyi megfelelés javítása érdekében kidolgozta a Közös Jelentéstételi Előírást;
Mivel az Egyezményt aláíró vagy annak aláírására irányuló szándékát kinyilvánító ország csak akkor válik az ezen
Megállapodás 1. cikkének értelmében meghatározott Joghatósággá, ha az Egyezmény Részes felévé vált;
Mivel az adott Joghatóságok jogszabályai – az információcsere ezen Megállapodás 2. cikkében meghatározott körében és a Közös Jelentéstételi Előírásban lefektetett jelentéstételi és átvilágítási eljárásokkal összhangban – az egyes számlákra vonatkozó információk jelentését, illetve a kapcsolódó átvilágítási eljárások lefolytatását írják elő vagy fogják várhatóan előírni a pénzügyi intézmények részére;
Mivel a Joghatóságok jogszabályait várhatóan időről időre módosítani szükséges ahhoz, hogy tükrözzék a Közös Jelentéstételi Előírás frissítéseit, amint e változásokat a Joghatóság jogszabályba iktatja, úgy kell tekinteni, hogy a „Közös Jelentéstételi Előírás” fogalom az adott Joghatóság vonatkozásában a frissített változatra utal;
Mivel az Egyezmény III. fejezete felhatalmazást ad az adóügyi információcserére, ideértve az automatikus információcserét is, valamint átengedi az automatikus információcsere alkalmazási köréről és módozatairól való megállapodást a Joghatóságok illetékes hatóságainak;
Mivel az Egyezmény 6. cikke úgy rendelkezik, hogy két vagy több Részes fél kölcsönösen megállapodhat az automatikus információcseréről, az információcsere kétoldalú alapon zajlik az Illetékes Hatóságok között;
Mivel a Joghatóságok az első információcsere idején rendelkeznek vagy várhatóan rendelkeznek (i) megfelelő biztosítékokkal annak biztosítása érdekében, hogy az e Megállapodás alapján kapott információ bizalmas maradjon, és azt kizárólag az Egyezményben foglalt célokra használják fel, továbbá (ii) a hatékony cserekapcsolathoz szükséges infrastruktúrával (ideértve az időszerű, pontos és bizalmas információcsere biztosítása érdekében kialakított folyamatokat, a hatékony és megbízható kommunikációt, az információcserével vagy az információcserére irányuló megkeresésekkel kapcsolatos kérdések és aggályok gyors megoldásának, illetve a jelen Megállapodás 4. cikkében foglalt rendelkezések kezelésének képességét is);
Mivel a joghatóságok Illetékes Hatóságai a nemzetközi adóügyi megfelelés előmozdítása céljából az Egyezmény szerinti automatikus információcserén alapuló megállapodást szándékoznak kötni, a nemzeti jogalkotási eljárások sérelme nélkül (adott esetben), tiszteletben tartva az EU jogot (ha alkalmazandó), az Egyezményben meghatározott titoktartási szabályok és egyéb védelmi intézkedések mellett, ideértve az Egyezmény alapján kicserélt információk felhasználását korlátozó rendelkezéseket is;
Ezért az Illetékes Hatóságok a következőkben állapodtak meg:
1. Ezen Megállapodás alkalmazásában a következő kifejezések az alábbiakat jelentik:
a) A „Joghatóság” kifejezés azt az országot vagy területet jelenti, amelyre az Egyezmény hatálya és érvényessége akár a 28. cikk szerinti aláírás és megerősítés, akár a 29. cikk szerinti területi kiterjesztés útján kiterjed, és amely ország vagy terület e Megállapodás aláírója;
b) Az „Illetékes Hatóság” kifejezés minden egyes Joghatóság vonatkozásában az Egyezmény B. mellékletében felsorolt személyeket és hatóságokat jelenti;
c) A „Joghatóság Pénzügyi Intézménye” kifejezés jelenti az adott Joghatóság vonatkozásában (i) azt a Pénzügyi Intézményt, amely a Joghatóságban belföldi illetőségű, kivéve az ilyen Pénzügyi Intézmény a Joghatóság területén kívüli bármely fióktelepét, valamint (ii) a Joghatóságban illetőséggel nem rendelkező Pénzügyi Intézmény bármely fióktelepét, ha az a Joghatóság területén helyezkedik el;
d) A „Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény” kifejezés jelenti a Joghatóság bármely, Nem-jelentő Pénzügyi Intézménynek nem minősülő Pénzügyi Intézményét;
e) A „Jelentendő Számla” kifejezés a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézménynél vezetett olyan Pénzügyi Számlát jelent, amelynek tulajdonosa a Közös Jelentéstételi Előírásnak megfelelő átvilágítási eljárás alapján egy másik Joghatóság vonatkozásában Jelentendő Személynek minősülő egy vagy több személy, illetve az olyan Passzív Nem-pénzügyi Jogalany vezetett számla, amely vonatkozásában egy vagy több Ellenőrzést Gyakorló Személy egy másik Joghatóság tekintetében Jelentendő Személynek minősül;
f) A „Közös Jelentéstételi Előírás” kifejezés az OECD által a G20 országokkal együtt kidolgozott pénzügyi számlákra vonatkozó adóügyekben történő automatikus információcseréről szóló előírást jelenti (amely magában foglalja a Kommentárokat);
g) A „Koordináló Testület Titkársága” kifejezés az OECD Titkárságát jelenti, amely az Egyezmény 24. cikkének 3. bekezdése alapján támogatást nyújt az Egyezmény Részes felei illetékes hatóságainak képviselőiből álló koordináló testület részére;
h) A „Hatályos Megállapodás” kifejezés bármely két Illetékes Hatóság vonatkozásában azt jelenti, hogy mindkét Illetékes Hatóság kifejezte az egymással való automatikus információcserére irányuló szándékát, továbbá megfelel a 7. cikk 2.1. albekezdésében meghatározott feltételeknek. Az E. mellékletben található azon Illetékes Hatóságok listája, amelyek vonatkozásában jelen Megállapodás hatályos.
2. Bármely, e Megállapodásban másként meg nem határozott nagybetűs kifejezés azt jelenti, amit a Megállapodást alkalmazó Joghatóság jogszabályai egy adott időpontban rögzítenek, ha e jelentés összhangban áll a Közös Jelentéstételi Előírásban meghatározott jelentéssel. Bármely, e Megállapodásban vagy a Közös Jelentéstételi Előírásban másként meg nem határozott kifejezés – ha a szövegösszefüggés mást nem kíván, vagy az Illetékes Hatóságok meg nem egyeznek egy közös jelentésben (a hazai jogszabályok adta keretek között) – azt jelenti, amit a Megállapodást alkalmazó Joghatóság jogszabályai egy adott időpontban rögzítenek, és a jelentést tekintve e Joghatóság alkalmazandó adójogszabályaiban foglalt meghatározások irányadóak e Joghatóságnak az egyéb jogszabályaiban foglalt meghatározásokkal szemben.
1.1. Az Egyezmény 6. és 22. cikkeiben foglalt rendelkezések, valamint a Közös Jelentéstételi Előírásnak megfelelő alkalmazandó jelentéstételi és átvilágítási szabályok szerint minden Illetékes Hatóság évi rendszerességgel a fenti szabályok szerint szerzett, a 2. bekezdésben meghatározott információ vonatkozásában automatikus információcserét folytat azon Illetékes Hatóságokkal, amelyekre e hatályos Megállapodás kiterjed.
1.2. Az előző bekezdéstől eltérően az A. mellékletben felsorolt Joghatóságok Illetékes Hatóságai elküldik, de nem kapják meg a 2. bekezdésben jelölt információt.

Az Illetékes Hatóságok az A. mellékletben felsorolt Joghatóságok Illetékes Hatóságai részére nem küldik meg ezen információt.
2. A másik Joghatóság egyes Jelentendő Számlái vonatkozásában az alábbiakra terjed ki az információcsere:
a) az adott számla Számlatulajdonosaként minden Jelentendő Személy neve, címe, adóazonosító száma(i), születési helye és ideje (magánszemély esetén), valamint – Jogalany Számlatulajdonos esetén, amelyben egy vagy több Ellenőrzést Gyakorló Személyt a Közös Jelentéstételi Előírásnak megfelelő átvilágítási eljárás során Jelentendő Személyként azonosítottak be – a Jogalany neve, címe és adóazonosító száma(i), továbbá minden egyes Jelentendő Személy neve, címe, adóazonosító száma(i), valamint születési helye és ideje;

e) bármely Letétkezelői Számla esetében:
(1) az adott naptári évben vagy más megfelelő jelentéstételi időszakban a számlára (vagy a számlával összefüggésben) befizetett vagy azon jóváírt teljes bruttó kamat összege, a teljes bruttó osztalék összege és a számlán birtokolt eszközök vonatkozásában keletkező teljes bruttó egyéb bevétel összege; valamint
(2) az adott naptári évben vagy más megfelelő jelentéstételi időszakban a számlára befizetett vagy azon jóváírt Pénzügyi Eszközök eladásából vagy visszaváltásából származó teljes bruttó jövedelmek, amelyek tekintetében a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény letétkezelőként, brókerként, meghatalmazottként vagy más módon a Számlatulajdonos megbízottjaként járt el;
f) bármely Betéti Számla esetében az adott naptári évben vagy más megfelelő jelentéstételi időszakban a számlára befizetett vagy azon jóváírt teljes bruttó kamat összege; továbbá

1. A 2. cikkben foglalt információcsere alkalmazásában a kifizetések összegét és jogcímét egy Jelentendő Számla esetén az információcserében részt vevő Joghatóság adójogszabályainak alapelvei szerint lehet meghatározni.
2. A 2. cikkben foglalt információcsere alkalmazásában a kicserélt információk között meg kell nevezni minden egyes érintett összeg pénznemét.
3. Tekintettel a 2. cikk 2. bekezdésére és a 7. cikkben leírt értesítési eljárásokra, beleértve az abban meghatározott időpontokat, az információt az F. mellékletben * meghatározott évektől kezdődően az információval érintett naptári évet követő kilenc hónapon belül kell kicserélni. Az előző mondattól eltérően az adott naptári évre vonatkozó információt kizárólag akkor kell cserélni, ha ezen Megállapodás mindkét Illetékes Hatóság vonatkozásában hatályba lépett, valamint az érintett Joghatóságok területén hatályos jogszabály az adott naptári évet illetően – az információcsere 2. cikkben meghatározott körében, a Közös Jelentéstételi Előírásban foglalt jelentéstételi és átvilágítási eljárásokkal összhangban álló – jelentéstételi kötelezettséget ír elő.
4. [Törölve]
5. Az Illetékes Hatóságok a 2. cikkben meghatározott információt a közös jelentéstételi előírás szerinti formában, kiterjeszthető jelölő nyelven cserélik ki.
6. Az Illetékes Hatóságok kialakítják és megállapodnak az adattovábbítás egy vagy több módozatában, ideértve a titkosítási szabályokat is, hogy maximálisan egységesítsék a szabályokat, minimalizálják a bonyolultságukat és a költségeket, és meghatározzák azokat a B. mellékletben.
Az Illetékes Hatóság értesítést küld a másik Illetékes Hatóságnak, ha okkal feltételezi, hogy valamilyen hiba következtében a jelentéstétel nem helyes vagy nem teljes körű, illetve a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény nem tesz eleget a rá vonatkozó és a Közös Jelentéstételi Előírásnak megfelelő jelentéstételi szabályoknak és átvilágítási eljárásoknak. Az értesített Illetékes Hatóság a hazai joga alapján rendelkezésére álló minden megfelelő intézkedést megtesz az értesítésben leírt hiba vagy mulasztás orvoslása érdekében.
1. Minden kicserélt információra az Egyezményben meghatározott titoktartási szabályokat és más biztosítékokat kell alkalmazni, ideértve a kicserélt információk használatát korlátozó rendelkezéseket is a személyes információk megfelelő szintű védelmének biztosítása által megkívánt mértékben, illetve az információt szolgáltató Illetékes Hatóság által meghatározott – a hazai joga szerint szükséges és a C. mellékletben felsorolt – biztosítékok alkalmazásával.
2. Az Illetékes Hatóság haladéktalanul értesíti a Koordináló Testület Titkárságát a titoktartási szabályok bármilyen megsértéséről, a biztosítékok hiányáról, valamint az annak következtében alkalmazott joghátrányról vagy jogorvoslati cselekményről. A Koordináló Testület Titkársága értesíti az összes Illetékes Hatóságot, amelyek vonatkozásában az elsőként említett Illetékes Hatósággal ezen Megállapodás hatályos.
1. Amennyiben ezen Megállapodás alkalmazása vagy értelmezése során bármilyen nehézség merül fel, az Illetékes Hatóság a Megállapodás teljesítését biztosító megfelelő intézkedések kidolgozása érdekében konzultációt kérhet egy vagy több Illetékes Hatóságtól. Adott esetben a konzultációt kérő Illetékes Hatóságnak biztosítania kell, hogy a Koordináló Testület Titkársága értesüljön a kidolgozott intézkedésekről, és a Koordináló Testület Titkársága értesít minden Illetékes Hatóságot a kidolgozott intézkedésekről, még azokat is, amelyek nem vettek részt a konzultációkban.
2. Ezen Megállapodás írásbeli megállapodás útján módosítható az összes olyan Illetékes Hatóság egyetértésével, amelyekre nézve a Megállapodás hatályos. Eltérő megállapodás hiányában e módosítás a fenti írásbeli megállapodás utolsó aláírásának időpontja utáni egyhónapos időszak lejártát követő hónap első napján lép hatályba.
1. Az Illetékes Hatóság köteles az aláíráskor vagy amilyen hamar lehetséges, miután a Joghatóság rendelkezik a szükséges jogszabályokkal a Közös Jelentéstételi Előírás Joghatóság belső jogába ültetésére vonatkozóan értesítést küldeni a Koordináló Testület Titkárságának;

Készült angol és francia nyelven, mindkét szöveg egyaránt hiteles.”
A. Subject to paragraphs C through F, each Reporting Financial Institution must report the following information with respect to each Reportable Account of such Reporting Financial Institution:
1. the name, address, jurisdiction(s) of residence, TIN(s) and date and place of birth (in the case of an individual) of each Reportable Person that is an Account Holder of the account and, in the case of any Entity that is an Account Holder and that, after application of the due diligence procedures consistent with Sections V, VI and VII, is identified as having one or more Controlling Persons that is a Reportable Person, the name, address, jurisdiction(s) of residence and TIN(s) of the Entity and the name, address, jurisdiction(s) of residence, TIN(s) and date and place of birth of each Reportable Person;
2. the account number (or functional equivalent in the absence of an account number);
3. the name and identifying number (if any) of the Reporting Financial Institution;
4. the account balance or value (including, in the case of a Cash Value Insurance Contract or Annuity Contract, the Cash Value or surrender value) as of the end of the relevant calendar year or other appropriate reporting period or, if the account was closed during such year or period, the closure of the account;
5. in the case of any Custodial Account:
a) the total gross amount of interest, the total gross amount of dividends, and the total gross amount of other income generated with respect to the assets held in the account, in each case paid or credited to the account (or with respect to the account) during the calendar year or other appropriate reporting period; and
b) the total gross proceeds from the sale or redemption of Financial Assets paid or credited to the account during the calendar year or other appropriate reporting period with respect to which the Reporting Financial Institution acted as a custodian, broker, nominee, or otherwise as an agent for the Account Holder;
6. in the case of any Depository Account, the total gross amount of interest paid or credited to the account during the calendar year or other appropriate reporting period; and
7. in the case of any account not described in subparagraph A(5) or (6), the total gross amount paid or credited to the Account Holder with respect to the account during the calendar year or other appropriate reporting period with respect to which the Reporting Financial Institution is the obligor or debtor, including the aggregate amount of any redemption payments made to the Account Holder during the calendar year or other appropriate reporting period.
B. The information reported must identify the currency in which each amount is denominated.
C. Notwithstanding subparagraph A(1), with respect to each Reportable Account that is a Preexisting Account, the TIN(s) or date of birth is not required to be reported if such TIN(s) or date of birth is not in the records of the Reporting Financial Institution and is not otherwise required to be collected by such Reporting Financial Institution under domestic law. However, a Reporting Financial Institution is required to use reasonable efforts to obtain the TIN(s) and date of birth with respect to Preexisting Accounts by the end of the second calendar year following the year in which such Accounts were identified as Reportable Accounts.
D. Notwithstanding subparagraph A(1), the TIN is not required to be reported if (i) a TIN is not issued by the relevant Reportable Jurisdiction or (ii) the domestic law of the relevant Reportable Jurisdiction does not require the collection of the TIN issued by such Reportable Jurisdiction.
E. Notwithstanding subparagraph A(1), the place of birth is not required to be reported unless the Reporting Financial Institution is otherwise required to obtain and report it under domestic law and it is available in the electronically searchable data maintained by the Reporting Financial Institution.
F. Notwithstanding paragraph A, the information to be reported with respect to [xxxx] is the information described in such paragraph, except for gross proceeds described in subparagraph A(5)(b).
A. An account is treated as a Reportable Account beginning as of the date it is identified as such pursuant to the due diligence procedures in Sections II through VII and, unless otherwise provided, information with respect to a Reportable Account must be reported annually in the calendar year following the year to which the information relates.
B. The balance or value of an account is determined as of the last day of the calendar year or other appropriate reporting period.
C. Where a balance or value threshold is to be determined as of the last day of a calendar year, the relevant balance or value must be determined as of the last day of the reporting period that ends with or within that calendar year.
D. Each Jurisdiction may allow Reporting Financial Institutions to use service providers to fulfil the reporting and due diligence obligations imposed on such Reporting Financial Institutions, as contemplated in domestic law, but these obligations shall remain the responsibility of the Reporting Financial Institutions.
E. Each Jurisdiction may allow Reporting Financial Institutions to apply the due diligence procedures for New Accounts to Preexisting Accounts, and the due diligence procedures for High Value Accounts to Lower Value Accounts. Where a Jurisdiction allows New Account due diligence procedures to be used for Preexisting Accounts, the rules otherwise applicable to Preexisting Accounts continue to apply.
The following procedures apply for purposes of identifying Reportable Accounts among Preexisting Individual Accounts.
A. Accounts Not Required to be Reviewed, Identified, or Reported. A Preexisting Individual Account that is a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract is not required to be reviewed, identified or reported, provided the Reporting Financial Institution is effectively prevented by law from selling such Contract to residents of a Reportable Jurisdiction.
B. Lower Value Accounts. The following procedures apply with respect to Lower Value Accounts.
1. Residence Address. If the Reporting Financial Institution has in its records a current residence address for the individual Account Holder based on Documentary Evidence, the Reporting Financial Institution may treat the individual Account Holder as being a resident for tax purposes of the jurisdiction in which the address is located for purposes of determining whether such individual Account Holder is a Reportable Person.
2. Electronic Record Search. If the Reporting Financial Institution does not rely on a current residence address for the individual Account Holder based on Documentary Evidence as set forth in subparagraph B(1), the Reporting Financial Institution must review electronically searchable data maintained by the Reporting Financial Institution for any of the following indicia and apply subparagraphs B(3) through (6):
a) identification of the Account Holder as a resident of a Reportable Jurisdiction;
b) current mailing or residence address (including a post office box) in a Reportable Jurisdiction;
c) one or more telephone numbers in a Reportable Jurisdiction and no telephone number in the jurisdiction of the Reporting Financial Institution;
d) standing instructions (other than with respect to a Depository Account) to transfer funds to an account maintained in a Reportable Jurisdiction;
e) currently effective power of attorney or signatory authority granted to a person with an address in a Reportable Jurisdiction; or
f) a „hold mail” instruction or „in-care-of” address in a Reportable Jurisdiction if the Reporting Financial Institution does not have any other address on file for the Account Holder.
3. If none of the indicia listed in subparagraph B(2) are discovered in the electronic search, then no further action is required until there is a change in circumstances that results in one or more indicia being associated with the account, or the account becomes a High Value Account.
4. If any of the indicia listed in subparagraph B(2)(a) through (e) are discovered in the electronic search, or if there is a change in circumstances that results in one or more indicia being associated with the account, then the Reporting Financial Institution must treat the Account Holder as a resident for tax purposes of each Reportable Jurisdiction for which an indicium is identified, unless it elects to apply subparagraph B(6) and one of the exceptions in such subparagraph applies with respect to that account.
5. If a „hold mail” instruction or „in-care-of” address is discovered in the electronic search and no other address and none of the other indicia listed in subparagraph B(2)(a) through (e) are identified for the Account Holder, the Reporting Financial Institution must, in the order most appropriate to the circumstances, apply the paper record search described in subparagraph C(2), or seek to obtain from the Account Holder a self-certification or Documentary Evidence to establish the residence(s) for tax purposes of such Account Holder. If the paper search fails to establish an indicium and the attempt to obtain the self-certification or Documentary Evidence is not successful, the Reporting Financial Institution must report the account as an undocumented account.
6. Notwithstanding a finding of indicia under subparagraph B(2), a Reporting Financial Institution is not required to treat an Account Holder as a resident of a Reportable Jurisdiction if:
a) the Account Holder information contains a current mailing or residence address in the Reportable Jurisdiction, one or more telephone numbers in the Reportable Jurisdiction (and no telephone number in the jurisdiction of the Reporting Financial Institution) or standing instructions (with respect to Financial Accounts other than Depository Accounts) to transfer funds to an account maintained in a Reportable Jurisdiction, the Reporting Financial Institution obtains, or has previously reviewed and maintains a record of:
i. a self-certification from the Account Holder of the jurisdiction(s) of residence of such Account Holder that does not include such Reportable Jurisdiction; and
ii. Documentary Evidence establishing the Account Holder’s non-reportable status.
b) the Account Holder information contains a currently effective power of attorney or signatory authority granted to a person with an address in the Reportable Jurisdiction, the Reporting Financial Institution obtains, or has previously reviewed and maintains a record of:
i. a self-certification from the Account Holder of the jurisdiction(s) of residence of such Account Holder that does not include such Reportable Jurisdiction; or
ii. Documentary Evidence establishing the Account Holder’s non-reportable status.
C. Enhanced Review Procedures for High Value Accounts. The following enhanced review procedures apply with respect to High Value Accounts.
1. Electronic Record Search. With respect to High Value Accounts, the Reporting Financial Institution must review electronically searchable data maintained by the Reporting Financial Institution for any of the indicia described in subparagraph B(2).
2. Paper Record Search. If the Reporting Financial Institution’s electronically searchable databases include fields for, and capture all of the information described in, subparagraph C(3), then a further paper record search is not required. If the electronic databases do not capture all of this information, then with respect to a High Value Account, the Reporting Financial Institution must also review the current customer master file and, to the extent not contained in the current customer master file, the following documents associated with the account and obtained by the Reporting Financial Institution within the last five years for any of the indicia described in subparagraph B(2):
a) the most recent Documentary Evidence collected with respect to the account;
b) the most recent account opening contract or documentation;
c) the most recent documentation obtained by the Reporting Financial Institution pursuant to AML/KYC Procedures or for other regulatory purposes;
d) any power of attorney or signature authority forms currently in effect; and
e) any standing instructions (other than with respect to a Depository Account) to transfer funds currently in effect.
3. Exception To The Extent Databases Contain Sufficient Information. A Reporting Financial Institution is not required to perform the paper record search described in subparagraph C(2) to the extent the Reporting Financial Institution’s electronically searchable information includes the following:
a) the Account Holder’s residence status;
b) the Account Holder’s residence address and mailing address currently on file with the Reporting Financial Institution;
c) the Account Holder’s telephone number(s) currently on file, if any, with the Reporting Financial Institution;
d) in the case of Financial Accounts other than Depository Accounts, whether there are standing instructions to transfer funds in the account to another account (including an account at another branch of the Reporting Financial Institution or another Financial Institution);
e) whether there is a current „in-care-of” address or „hold mail” instruction for the Account Holder; and
f) whether there is any power of attorney or signatory authority for the account.
4. Relationship Manager Inquiry for Actual Knowledge. In addition to the electronic and paper record searches described above, the Reporting Financial Institution must treat as a Reportable Account any High Value Account assigned to a relationship manager (including any Financial Accounts aggregated with that High Value Account) if the relationship manager has actual knowledge that the Account Holder is a Reportable Person.
5. Effect of Finding Indicia.
a) If none of the indicia listed in subparagraph B(2) are discovered in the enhanced review of High Value Accounts described above, and the account is not identified as held by a Reportable Person in subparagraph C(4), then further action is not required until there is a change in circumstances that results in one or more indicia being associated with the account.
b) If any of the indicia listed in subparagraph B(2)(a) through (e) are discovered in the enhanced review of High Value Accounts described above, or if there is a subsequent change in circumstances that results in one or more indicia being associated with the account, then the Reporting Financial Institution must treat the account as a Reportable Account with respect to each Reportable Jurisdiction for which an indicium is identified unless it elects to apply subparagraph B(6) and one of the exceptions in such subparagraph applies with respect to that account.
c) If a „hold mail” instruction or „in-care-of” address is discovered in the enhanced review of High Value Accounts described above, and no other address and none of the other indicia listed in subparagraph B(2) (a) through (e) are identified for the Account Holder, the Reporting Financial Institution must obtain from such Account Holder a self-certification or Documentary Evidence to establish the residence(s) for tax purposes of the Account Holder. If the Reporting Financial Institution cannot obtain such self-certification or Documentary Evidence, it must report the account as an undocumented account.
6. If a Preexisting Individual Account is not a High Value Account as of 31 December [xxxx], but becomes a High Value Account as of the last day of a subsequent calendar year, the Reporting Financial Institution must complete the enhanced review procedures described in paragraph C with respect to such account within the calendar year following the year in which the account becomes a High Value Account. If based on this review such account is identified as a Reportable Account, the Reporting Financial Institution must report the required information about such account with respect to the year in which it is identified as a Reportable Account and subsequent years on an annual basis, unless the Account Holder ceases to be a Reportable Person.
7. Once a Reporting Financial Institution applies the enhanced review procedures described in paragraph C to a High Value Account, the Reporting Financial Institution is not required to re-apply such procedures, other than the relationship manager inquiry described in subparagraph C(4), to the same High Value Account in any subsequent year unless the account is undocumented where the Reporting Financial Institution should re-apply them annually until such account ceases to be undocumented.
8. If there is a change of circumstances with respect to a High Value Account that results in one or more indicia described in subparagraph B(2) being associated with the account, then the Reporting Financial Institution must treat the account as a Reportable Account with respect to each Reportable Jurisdiction for which an indicium is identified unless it elects to apply subparagraph B(6) and one of the exceptions in such subparagraph applies with respect to that account.
9. A Reporting Financial Institution must implement procedures to ensure that a relationship manager identifies any change in circumstances of an account. For example, if a relationship manager is notified that the Account Holder has a new mailing address in a Reportable Jurisdiction, the Reporting Financial Institution is required to treat the new address as a change in circumstances and, if it elects to apply subparagraph B(6), is required to obtain the appropriate documentation from the Account Holder.
D. Review of Preexisting Individual Accounts must be completed by [xx/xx/xxxx].
E. Any Preexisting Individual Account that has been identified as a Reportable Account under this Section must be treated as a Reportable Account in all subsequent years, unless the Account Holder ceases to be a Reportable Person.
The following procedures apply for purposes of identifying Reportable Accounts among New Individual Accounts.
A. With respect to New Individual Accounts, upon account opening, the Reporting Financial Institution must obtain a self-certification, which may be part of the account opening documentation, that allows the Reporting Financial Institution to determine the Account Holder’s residence(s) for tax purposes and confirm the reasonableness of such self-certification based on the information obtained by the Reporting Financial Institution in connection with the opening of the account, including any documentation collected pursuant to AML/KYC Procedures.
B. If the self-certification establishes that the Account Holder is resident for tax purposes in a Reportable Jurisdiction, the Reporting Financial Institution must treat the account as a Reportable Account and the self-certification must also include the Account Holder’s TIN with respect to such Reportable Jurisdiction (subject to paragraph D of Section I) and date of birth.
C. If there is a change of circumstances with respect to a New Individual Account that causes the Reporting Financial Institution to know, or have reason to know, that the original self-certification is incorrect or unreliable, the Reporting Financial Institution cannot rely on the original self-certification and must obtain a valid self-certification that establishes the residence(s) for tax purposes of the Account Holder.
The following procedures apply for purposes of identifying Reportable Accounts among Preexisting Entity Accounts.
A. Entity Accounts Not Required to Be Reviewed, Identified or Reported. Unless the Reporting Financial Institution elects otherwise, either with respect to all Preexisting Entity Accounts or, separately, with respect to any clearly identified group of such accounts, a Preexisting Entity Account with an aggregate account balance or value that does not exceed $250,000 as of 31 December [xxxx], is not required to be reviewed, identified, or reported as a Reportable Account until the aggregate account balance or value exceeds $250,000 as of the last day of any subsequent calendar year.
B. Entity Accounts Subject to Review. A Preexisting Entity Account that has an aggregate account balance or value that exceeds $250,000 as of 31 December [xxxx], and a Preexisting Entity Account that does not exceed $250,000 as of 31 December [xxxx] but the aggregate account balance or value of which exceeds $250,000 as of the last day of any subsequent calendar year, must be reviewed in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph D.
C. Entity Accounts With Respect to Which Reporting Is Required. With respect to Preexisting Entity Accounts described in paragraph B, only accounts that are held by one or more Entities that are Reportable Persons, or by Passive NFEs with one or more Controlling Persons who are Reportable Persons, shall be treated as Reportable Accounts.
D. Review Procedures for Identifying Entity Accounts With Respect to Which Reporting Is Required. For Preexisting Entity Accounts described in paragraph B, a Reporting Financial Institution must apply the following review procedures to determine whether the account is held by one or more Reportable Persons, or by Passive NFEs with one or more Controlling Persons who are Reportable Persons:
1. Determine Whether the Entity Is a Reportable Person.
a) Review information maintained for regulatory or customer relationship purposes (including information collected pursuant to AML/KYC Procedures) to determine whether the information indicates that the Account Holder is resident in a Reportable Jurisdiction. For this purpose, information indicating that the Account Holder is resident in a Reportable Jurisdiction includes a place of incorporation or organisation, or an address in a Reportable Jurisdiction.
b) If the information indicates that the Account Holder is resident in a Reportable Jurisdiction, the Reporting Financial Institution must treat the account as a Reportable Account unless it obtains a self-certification from the Account Holder, or reasonably determines based on information in its possession or that is publicly available, that the Account Holder is not a Reportable Person.
2. Determine Whether the Entity is a Passive NFE with One or More Controlling Persons Who Are Reportable Persons. With respect to an Account Holder of a Preexisting Entity Account (including an Entity that is a Reportable Person), the Reporting Financial Institution must determine whether the Account Holder is a Passive NFE with one or more Controlling Persons who are Reportable Persons. If any of the Controlling Persons of a Passive NFE is a Reportable Person, then the account must be treated as a Reportable Account. In making these determinations the Reporting Financial Institution must follow the guidance in subparagraphs D(2)(a) through (c) in the order most appropriate under the circumstances.
a) Determining whether the Account Holder is a Passive NFE. For purposes of determining whether the Account Holder is a Passive NFE, the Reporting Financial Institution must obtain a self-certification from the Account Holder to establish its status, unless it has information in its possession or that is publicly available, based on which it can reasonably determine that the Account Holder is an Active NFE or a Financial Institution other than an Investment Entity described in subparagraph A(6)(b) of Section VIII that is not a Participating Jurisdiction Financial Institution.
b) Determining the Controlling Persons of an Account Holder. For the purposes of determining the Controlling Persons of an Account Holder, a Reporting Financial Institution may rely on information collected and maintained pursuant to AML/KYC Procedures.
c) Determining whether a Controlling Person of a Passive NFE is a Reportable Person. For the purposes of determining whether a Controlling Person of a Passive NFE is a Reportable Person, a Reporting Financial Institution may rely on:
i. information collected and maintained pursuant to AML/KYC Procedures in the case of a Preexisting Entity Account held by one or more NFEs with an aggregate account balance or value that does not exceed $1,000,000; or
ii. a self-certification from the Account Holder or such Controlling Person of the jurisdiction(s) in which the Controlling Person is resident for tax purposes.
E. Timing of Review and Additional Procedures Applicable to Preexisting Entity Accounts.
1. Review of Preexisting Entity Accounts with an aggregate account balance or value that exceeds $250,000 as of 31 December [xxxx] must be completed by 31 December [xxxx].
2. Review of Preexisting Entity Accounts with an aggregate account balance or value that does not exceed $250,000 as of 31 December [xxxx], but exceeds $250,000 as of 31 December of a subsequent year, must be completed within the calendar year following the year in which the aggregate account balance or value exceeds $250,000.
3. If there is a change of circumstances with respect to a Preexisting Entity Account that causes the Reporting Financial Institution to know, or have reason to know, that the self-certification or other documentation associated with an account is incorrect or unreliable, the Reporting Financial Institution must re-determine the status of the account in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph D.
The following procedures apply for purposes of identifying Reportable Accounts among New Entity Accounts.
A. Review Procedures for Identifying Entity Accounts With Respect to Which Reporting Is Required. For New Entity Accounts, a Reporting Financial Institution must apply the following review procedures to determine whether the account is held by one or more Reportable Persons, or by Passive NFEs with one or more Controlling Persons who are Reportable Persons:
1. Determine Whether the Entity Is a Reportable Person.
a) Obtain a self-certification, which may be part of the account opening documentation, that allows the Reporting Financial Institution to determine the Account Holder’s residence(s) for tax purposes and confirm the reasonableness of such self-certification based on the information obtained by the Reporting Financial Institution in connection with the opening of the account, including any documentation collected pursuant to AML/KYC Procedures. If the Entity certifies that it has no residence for tax purposes, the Reporting Financial Institution may rely on the address of the principal office of the Entity to determine the residence of the Account Holder.
b) If the self-certification indicates that the Account Holder is resident in a Reportable Jurisdiction, the Reporting Financial Institution must treat the account as a Reportable Account unless it reasonably determines based on information in its possession or that is publicly available, that the Account Holder is not a Reportable Person with respect to such Reportable Jurisdiction.
2. Determine Whether the Entity is a Passive NFE with One or More Controlling Persons Who Are Reportable Persons. With respect to an Account Holder of a New Entity Account (including an Entity that is a Reportable Person), the Reporting Financial Institution must determine whether the Account Holder is a Passive NFE with one or more Controlling Persons who are Reportable Persons. If any of the Controlling Persons of a Passive NFE is a Reportable Person, then the account must be treated as a Reportable Account. In making these determinations the Reporting Financial Institution must follow the guidance in subparagraphs A(2)(a) through (c) in the order most appropriate under the circumstances.
a) Determining whether the Account Holder is a Passive NFE. For purposes of determining whether the Account Holder is a Passive NFE, the Reporting Financial Institution must rely on a self-certification from the Account Holder to establish its status, unless it has information in its possession or that is publicly available, based on which it can reasonably determine that the Account Holder is an Active NFE or a Financial Institution other than an Investment Entity described in subparagraph A(6)(b) of Section VIII that is not a Participating Jurisdiction Financial Institution.
b) Determining the Controlling Persons of an Account Holder. For purposes of determining the Controlling Persons of an Account Holder, a Reporting Financial Institution may rely on information collected and maintained pursuant to AML/KYC Procedures.
c) Determining whether a Controlling Person of a Passive NFE is a Reportable Person. For purposes of determining whether a Controlling Person of a Passive NFE is a Reportable Person, a Reporting Financial Institution may rely on a self-certification from the Account Holder or such Controlling Person.
The following additional rules apply in implementing the due diligence procedures described above:
A. Reliance on Self-Certifications and Documentary Evidence. A Reporting Financial Institution may not rely on a self-certification or Documentary Evidence if the Reporting Financial Institution knows or has reason to know that the self-certification or Documentary Evidence is incorrect or unreliable.
B. Alternative Procedures for Financial Accounts Held by Individual Beneficiaries of a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract. A Reporting Financial Institution may presume that an individual beneficiary (other than the owner) of a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract receiving a death benefit is not a Reportable Person and may treat such Financial Account as other than a Reportable Account unless the Reporting Financial Institution has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the beneficiary is a Reportable Person. A Reporting Financial Institution has reason to know that a beneficiary of a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract is a Reportable Person if the information collected by the Reporting Financial Institution and associated with the beneficiary contains indicia as described in paragraph B of Section III. If a Reporting Financial Institution has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the beneficiary is a Reportable Person, the Reporting Financial Institution must follow the procedures in paragraph B of Section III.
C. Account Balance Aggregation and Currency Rules.
1. Aggregation of Individual Accounts. For purposes of determining the aggregate balance or value of Financial Accounts held by an individual, a Reporting Financial Institution is required to aggregate all Financial Accounts maintained by the Reporting Financial Institution, or by a Related Entity, but only to the extent that the Reporting Financial Institution’s computerized systems link the Financial Accounts by reference to a data element such as client number or TIN, and allow account balances or values to be aggregated. Each holder of a jointly held Financial Account shall be attributed the entire balance or value of the jointly held Financial Account for purposes of applying the aggregation requirements described in this subparagraph.
2. Aggregation of Entity Accounts. For purposes of determining the aggregate balance or value of Financial Accounts held by an Entity, a Reporting Financial Institution is required to take into account all Financial Accounts that are maintained by the Reporting Financial Institution, or by a Related Entity, but only to the extent that the Reporting Financial Institution’s computerized systems link the Financial Accounts by reference to a data element such as client number or TIN, and allow account balances or values to be aggregated. Each holder of a jointly held Financial Account shall be attributed the entire balance or value of the jointly held Financial Account for purposes of applying the aggregation requirements described in this subparagraph.
3. Special Aggregation Rule Applicable to Relationship Managers. For purposes of determining the aggregate balance or value of Financial Accounts held by a person to determine whether a Financial Account is a High Value Account, a Reporting Financial Institution is also required, in the case of any Financial Accounts that a relationship manager knows, or has reason to know, are directly or indirectly owned, controlled, or established (other than in a fiduciary capacity) by the same person, to aggregate all such accounts.
4. Amounts Read to Include Equivalent in Other Currencies. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars and shall be read to include equivalent amounts in other currencies, as determined by domestic law.

4. a számlának az adott naptári év vagy egyéb megfelelő jelentéstételi időszak végén, illetve – ha a számlát évközben lezárták – a záráskor fennálló egyenlege vagy értéke (Készpénz Egyenértékkel Rendelkező Biztosítási Szerződés vagy Járadékbiztosítási Szerződés esetében beleértve a Készpénz Egyenértéket vagy visszavásárlási értéket is);
5. bármely Letétkezelői Számla esetében:
a) az adott naptári évben vagy más megfelelő jelentéstételi időszakban a számlára (vagy a számlával összefüggésben) befizetett vagy azon jóváírt teljes bruttó kamat összege, a teljes bruttó osztalék összege, és a számlán birtokolt eszközök után keletkező teljes bruttó egyéb bevétel összege, valamint
b) a Pénzügyi Eszközök eladásából vagy visszaváltásából származó, az adott naptári évben vagy más megfelelő jelentéstételi időszakban a számlára befizetett vagy azon jóváírt teljes bruttó bevételek, amelyek tekintetében a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény letétkezelőként, brókerként, meghatalmazottként vagy más módon a Számlatulajdonos megbízottjaként járt el;
6. bármely Betéti Számla esetében az adott naptári évben vagy más megfelelő jelentéstételi időszakban a számlára befizetett vagy azon jóváírt teljes bruttó kamat összege; továbbá
7. az A(5) vagy (6) albekezdésben nem említett bármely számla esetében az adott naptári évben vagy más megfelelő jelentéstételi időszakban a Számlatulajdonos részére a számlával összefüggésben befizetett vagy jóváírt teljes bruttó összeg, amelynek tekintetében a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény a kötelezett vagy az adós, beleértve a Számlatulajdonos részére az adott naptári évben vagy más megfelelő jelentéstételi időszakban teljesített visszaváltási kifizetések összegét is.
B. A jelentett információk részeként meg kell nevezni az egyes összegek pénznemét.
C. Az A(1) albekezdéstől eltérően minden Meglévő Számlának minősülő Jelentendő Számla vonatkozásában nem szükséges az adóazonosító szám(ok) és a születési idő jelentése, ha az adóazonosító szám vagy a születési idő nem szerepel a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény nyilvántartásaiban, illetve a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény a hazai jog értelmében egyébként nem köteles ezen információkat gyűjteni. Mindazonáltal a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény köteles minden ésszerű erőfeszítéssel megszerezni a Meglévő Számlákra vonatkozó adóazonosító számot és születési időt az ilyen Számlák Jelentendő Számlaként történő azonosításának évét követő második naptári év végéig.
D. Az A(1) albekezdéstől eltérően az adóazonosító számot nem szükséges jelenteni, ha (i) az adóazonosító számot nem az érintett Jelentendő Joghatóság adta ki, vagy (ii) az érintett Jelentendő Joghatóság hazai joga nem írja elő az érintett Jelentendő Joghatóság által kibocsátott adóazonosító számok gyűjtését.
E. Az A(1) albekezdéstől eltérően a születés helyét nem szükséges jelenteni, ha azt a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény a hazai jog alapján egyébként nem köteles megszerezni és jelenteni, továbbá ha az elérhető a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény által fenntartott, elektronikus módon kereshető adatok között.
F. Az A. bekezdéstől eltérően a [xxxx] év vonatkozásában jelentendő információk az e bekezdésben meghatározott információk, kivéve az A(5)(b) albekezdésben írt bruttó bevételt.
A. A számlát attól az időponttól kezdődően kell Jelentendő Számlaként kezelni, amikor azt a II–VII. részben foglalt átvilágítási eljárások alapján ilyenként azonosítják, és ellenkező rendelkezés hiányában a Jelentendő Számlára vonatkozó információt évenként, azt az évet követő naptári évben kell jelenteni, amelyre az információ vonatkozik.
B. A számla egyenlegét vagy értékét az adott naptári év vagy más megfelelő jelentéstételi időszak utolsó napja szerint kell meghatározni.
C. Ha az egyenleget vagy értékhatárt a naptári év utolsó napján kell meghatározni, a vonatkozó egyenleget vagy értéket azon jelentéstételi időszak utolsó napján kell meghatározni, amely az adott naptári évvel vagy évben ér véget.
D. Minden Joghatóság engedélyezheti, hogy a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény a hazai jog rendelkezései szerint szolgáltatókat vegyen igénybe jelentéstételi és átvilágítási kötelezettségeinek teljesítéséhez, de e kötelezettség továbbra is a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény felelőssége marad.
E. Minden Joghatóság engedélyezheti, hogy a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény az Új Számlákra vonatkozó átvilágítási eljárásokat alkalmazza a Meglévő Számlákra, illetve a Magas Értékű Számlákra vonatkozó átvilágítási eljárásokat az Alacsonyabb Értékű Számlákra. Ha a Joghatóság engedélyezi az Új Számlákra vonatkozó átvilágítási eljárások alkalmazását a Meglévő Számlákra, a Meglévő Számlákra egyébként vonatkozó szabályok továbbra is érvényesek.
A Meglévő Egyéni Számlák közül a Jelentendő Számlák azonosítására az alábbi eljárások vonatkoznak.
A. Számlák, amelyeket nem szükséges átvizsgálni, azonosítani vagy jelenteni. A Meglévő Egyéni Számlát, amely Készpénz Egyenértékkel Rendelkező Biztosítási Szerződés vagy Járadékbiztosítási Szerződés, nem szükséges átvizsgálni, azonosítani vagy jelenteni, ha jogszabály ténylegesen tiltja, hogy a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény értékesítse az adott Szerződést a Jelentendő Joghatóság lakosai számára.
B. Alacsonyabb Értékű Számlák. Az Alacsonyabb Értékű Számlákra az alábbi eljárások vonatkoznak.
1. Lakcím. Ha a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény nyilvántartásaiban megtalálható a magánszemély Számlatulajdonos okirati bizonyítékkal alátámasztott jelenlegi lakcíme, akkor annak meghatározása céljából, hogy a magánszemély Számlatulajdonos Jelentendő Személynek minősül-e, a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény adóügyi szempontból azon joghatóságbeli illetőségűnek tekintheti a magánszemély Számlatulajdonost, ahol a cím található.
2. Elektronikus adatkeresés. Ha a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény nem rendelkezik a magánszemély Számlatulajdonosnak – a B(1) albekezdés szerinti – okirati bizonyítékkal alátámasztott jelenlegi lakcímével, át kell vizsgálnia a birtokában lévő, elektronikusan kereshető adatokat bármely, az alábbiakra utaló jel vonatkozásában, továbbá a B(3)–(6) albekezdések rendelkezéseit kell alkalmaznia:
a) a Számlatulajdonos azonosítása Jelentendő Joghatóságbeli illetőségűként;
b) jelenlegi Jelentendő Joghatóságbeli levelezési vagy lakcím (beleértve a postafiókot is);
c) egy vagy több jelenlegi Jelentendő Joghatóságbeli telefonszám, illetve a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény szerinti Joghatóságbeli telefonszám hiánya;
d) állandó átutalási megbízás a Jelentendő Joghatóságban fenntartott számlára (kivéve a Betéti Számla vonatkozásában);
e) a Jelentendő Joghatóságban lakcímmel rendelkező személy részére szóló, jelenleg érvényes meghatalmazás vagy aláírási felhatalmazás; vagy
f) a Jelentendő Joghatóságbeli „átvételi megbízott” vagy „levéltartási” cím, ha ez a Számlatulajdonos egyetlen címe a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény nyilvántartásában.
3. Ha az elektronikus adatkeresés során nem találhatóak B(2) albekezdésben felsorolt jelek, nincs szükség további intézkedésre, amíg a körülményekben olyan változás nem következik be, amelynek eredményeként egy vagy több jel a számlához köthetővé válik, vagy a számla Magas Értékű Számlává nem válik.
4. Ha a B(2)(a)–(e) albekezdésekben felsorolt jelek bármelyikét felfedezik az elektronikus keresőrendszerben, vagy a körülmények megváltozásának eredményeképpen egy vagy több jel társítható a számlához, akkor a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény a Számlatulajdonost adóügyi szempontból minden olyan Joghatóságbeli illetőségűként köteles kezelni, amelyre utaló jelet azonosított, kivéve akkor, ha a B(6) albekezdés alkalmazása mellett dönt, és az albekezdés egyik kivétele alkalmazható a számlára.
5. Ha az „átvételi megbízott” vagy „levéltartási” cím megtalálható az elektronikus keresés során, és a Számlatulajdonost illetően egyéb cím vagy a B(2)(a)–(e) albekezdésben felsorolt jel nem azonosítható, a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény köteles – a körülményeknek leginkább megfelelő sorrendben – a C(2) albekezdés szerinti papíralapú keresést alkalmazni vagy a Számlatulajdonos saját igazolásának vagy Okirati Bizonyítéknak a beszerzésére törekedni az érintett Számlatulajdonos adóilletőségének meghatározása céljából. Ha a papíralapú keresés alapján nem állapítható meg jel, és a saját igazolás vagy Okirati Bizonyíték beszerzésére irányuló törekvés nem vezet eredményre, a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény a számlát dokumentálatlan számlaként köteles jelenteni.
6. Függetlenül attól, hogy a B(2) albekezdésben meghatározott jelet találtak, a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény nem köteles a Számlatulajdonost Jelentendő Joghatóságbeli illetőségűként kezelni, ha:
a) a Számlatulajdonosra vonatkozó információk tartalmaznak egy Jelentendő Joghatóságbeli jelenlegi levelezési vagy lakcímet, egy vagy több Jelentendő Joghatóságbeli telefonszámot (de a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény Joghatóságabeli telefonszámot nem) vagy (Betéti Számlán kívüli Pénzügyi Számlára vonatkozó) állandó megbízást a Jelentendő Joghatóságban vezetett számlára utalásra, ugyanakkor a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény megszerzi vagy korábban átvizsgálta és nyilvántartásában kezeli:
i. a Számlatulajdonos saját igazolását a Számlatulajdonos lakóhelye szerinti joghatóságról vagy joghatóságokról, amelyek között nincs Jelentendő Joghatóság; illetve
ii. a Számlatulajdonos nem jelentendő státuszát alátámasztó Okirati Bizonyítékot.
b) a Számlatulajdonosra vonatkozó információk tartalmaznak Jelentendő Joghatóságban lakcímmel rendelkező személy részére adott, jelenleg érvényes meghatalmazást vagy aláírási felhatalmazást, ugyanakkor a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény megszerzi vagy korábban átvizsgálta és nyilvántartásában kezeli:
i. a Számlatulajdonos saját igazolását a Számlatulajdonos lakóhelye szerinti joghatóságról vagy joghatóságokról, amelyek között nincs Jelentendő Joghatóság; vagy
ii. a Számlatulajdonos nem jelentendő státuszát alátámasztó Okirati Bizonyítékot.
C. Kiterjesztett átvizsgálási eljárások Magas Értékű Számlák esetében. A Magas Értékű Számlákra az alábbi kiterjesztett átvizsgálási eljárások vonatkoznak.
1. Elektronikus adatkeresés. A Magas Értékű Számlák vonatkozásában a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézménynek át kell vizsgálnia a birtokában lévő, elektronikusan kereshető adatokat bármely, a B(2) albekezdésben meghatározott jel vonatkozásában.
2. Papíralapú adatkeresés. Ha a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény elektronikusan kereshető adatbázisa tartalmazza a jelen szakasz C(3) albekezdésében meghatározott területeket, és az azokban foglalt összes információt kiadja, akkor nincs szükség további papíralapú adatkeresésre. Ha az elektronikus adatbázis nem képes mindezt az információt kiadni, akkor a Magas Értékű Számlák tekintetében a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézménynek szintén át kell vizsgálnia az ügyfél jelenlegi törzsadatait, valamint a jelenleg rendelkezésre álló törzsadatok között nem szereplő információk tekintetében a következő, számlához kapcsolódó, és a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény által az elmúlt öt évben megszerzett dokumentumokat a B(2) albekezdésében meghatározott jelek vonatkozásában:
a) a számlára vonatkozóan beszerzett legfrissebb Okirati Bizonyítékot;
b) a legutóbbi számlanyitási szerződést vagy dokumentációt;
c) a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény a Pénzmosás elleni és Ügyfél-azonosítási Eljárások megfelelően vagy egyéb szabályozási célokra beszerzett legfrissebb dokumentumokat;
d) bármely jelenleg érvényes meghatalmazást vagy aláírási felhatalmazást; és
e) jelenleg érvényes állandó átutalási megbízást (a Betéti Számlára vonatkozó megbízásokat kivéve).
3. Azon kivétel, amikor az adatbázisok elégséges információt tartalmaznak. A Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény nem köteles elvégezni a C(2) albekezdésben leírt papíralapú adatkeresést, ha elektronikusan kereshető információi a következőket tartalmazzák:
a) a Számlatulajdonos illetőségét;
b) a Számlatulajdonosnak a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény nyilvántartásaiban jelenleg szereplő lakcímét és levelezési címét;
c) a Számlatulajdonosnak a Jelentő Pénzügyi Intézmény nyilvántartásaiban jelenleg szereplő telefonszámát vagy telefonszámait (adott esetben);
