    • 2015 FATCA returns are to be submitted electronically by June 30th
    • 2016 CRS returns are due by March 31st
    • The CDOT due date remains the same: May 31st

Cayman Islands Extends CDOT Reporting Date, Releases New Portal User Guide & Announces CDOT Filing

The Ministry of Financial Services has recently announced that it will extend the due date for UK CDOT reporting to July 8.  The previous deadline was May 31.  Moreover, the deadline to register is now June 10. The Cayman Islands Department of International Tax Cooperation has released a new Portal User Guide, version 1.3.   The purpose of the Guide is to provide an instructional “how-to” guide to some of the more commonly used functionalities with the portal. For the new version, the new guidance has information, in chapter 6, which details how FIs are to properly respond to IRS notifications.  The new guidance also has information in chapter 7 that details how to create a corrected return.   The Department has also advised that UK CDOT submission will be available in May 2016 since the AEOI Portal is still being developed.  This announcement came in the AEOI News & Updates, which can be found at the link below.   To stay up-to-date on FATCA, CDOT, and CRS changes, subscribe to our blog.
