Tax reporting made easy with IDES | AIA Reporter
IDES/FATCA
Financial institutions that have signed a Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have to transfer relevant business data to the IRS International Data Exchange Service (IDES).
AIA/CRS
Financial institutions in Switzerland have to collect data according to the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) under AIA / EAR.
Before uploading to ESTV, XML files have to be encrypted with cryptographic mechanisms similar to those used for US FATCA reporting.
AIA/CARF
Crypto-asset service providers in Switzerland have to report according to the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) under AIA / EAR.
Before uploading to ESTV, CARF XML files are validated and encrypted using the same process as AIA/CRS.
- Enables organizations to deliver IDES/FATCA, AIA/CRS and AIA/CARF tax reporting.
- Checks XML files for IDES/FATCA, AIA/CRS or AIA/CARF conformity and provides data encryption according to the respective specifications.
- IDES and AIA modules can be licensed separately.
- Users who have to report according to several standards, IDES/FATCA, AIA/CRS and AIA/CARF, can use a single tool with the same process for all purposes.
- Provides easy-to-use data upload and status tracking functionality.

Shares the same ESTV/FTA ID definitions as CRS
IDES | AIA Reporter handles one or more GIINs for FATCA, and ESTV IDs for CRS and CARF, all from a single installation.
It validates, compresses and encrypts your reports, checking the certificate chain via OCSP or CRL, and names the files as IDES or ESTV require. The result is a ready-to-upload package: the IDES data packet with its sender metadata file for FATCA, or the ESTV data packet for CRS and CARF.
Once a report is uploaded, the IRS or ESTV sends back a notification. IDES | AIA Reporter processes these notifications for FATCA, CRS and CARF, validates them cryptographically and highlights any file or record errors, so you always know the status of each report.
Its security features include RSA signatures with any SHA-family hash function, support for RSA keys in PKCS#12 format, AES encryption, locked memory for sensitive data and secure memory wiping after use.
