CRS reporting overview
What is CRS reporting?
The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) is an OECD framework for the automatic exchange of financial account information between tax authorities. Reporting Financial Institutions may need to prepare account-holder, account-balance, tax residence, and payment information in a structured XML format for submission to their local tax authority.
For Cyprus-based firms, the challenge is often practical: data is prepared in spreadsheets, but the final submission requires strict XML structure, correct mappings, and validation checks.
Why it matters
A small formatting, country-code, date, balance, or mapping issue can create delays, rework, or rejection during the reporting process. CRS XML Builder is designed to reduce that manual work and improve consistency.
How it works
Prepare your spreadsheet
Use your existing client data in Excel or CSV format.
Configure your setup
Use the App Configurator so your FI details and column mappings are ready.
Generate CRS XML
Create the XML output using the desktop application or request assisted generation.
Validate before submission
Check the generated file against CRS v2 validation requirements before delivery or submission.
A simpler alternative to manual CRS preparation
Instead of relying only on manual XML editing or expensive once-a-year consultancy work, CRS XML Builder gives your team a repeatable workflow for annual CRS reporting.
| Area | Consultancy-only approach | CRS XML Builder |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Often depends on back-and-forth emails | Generate from prepared spreadsheet data |
| Control | Limited visibility into the XML process | Keep a repeatable setup and workflow |
| Data handling | Data is usually sent externally | Desktop workflow available for local processing |
| Flexibility | Changes may require more service time | Mappings and configuration can be adjusted |
Designed for financial and professional service teams
CRS XML Builder is intended for financial institutions, accounting firms, corporate service providers, administrators, and compliance teams that need a practical way to prepare CRS XML files from spreadsheet data.
Important note
Users remain responsible for reviewing the accuracy and completeness of the underlying data before submission to the relevant tax authority.
