Existing investors
Please note that from 1 July 2017, there are new investor disclosure requirements relating to investor’s current tax residency status. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and Common Reporting Standard (CRS) are regulatory requirements that aim to deter tax evasion by US and other foreign taxpayers. All financial institutions (including fund managers such as Centuria) now have an obligation to report on foreign individuals for tax purposes. As such if you have not had a new investment with us since 1 July 2017 you will need to complete the Tax Information form enclosed in the application.
