Tax reporting made easy with IDES | AIA Reporter
-
Enables organizations to deliver both AIA / EAR and FATCA tax reporting.
-
Checks XML files for AIA / EAR or FATCA conformity and provides data encryption according to the respective specifications.
-
AIA / EAR and FATCA modules can be licensed separately.
-
Users who have to report according to both standards, AIA / EAR and FATCA, will be able to use one single tool with the same process for both purposes.
- Provides easy-to-use data upload and status tracking functionality.
AIA / EAR
Financial institutions in Switzerland have to collect data according to the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) or AIA / EAR.
Before uploading to ESTV, XML files have to be encrypted with cryptographic mechanisms similar to US FATCA reporting.
FATCA Reporting
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 IRS’ International Data Exchange Service (IDES).

The IDES Module also has exclusive features:
Produce XML Digital Signature and Validation according to the W3C XML Digital Signature specification
Wrapping of the cipher key using the recipient’s public key, incl. certificate chain validation via OCSP or CRL
Production of the sender metadata file
IGA 1 and IGA 2 Support
Support for AES cipher using multi source RNGs, including HW devices (Quantum RNG)
IDES | AIA Reporter can handle one or multiple ESTV/FTA ID’s or Global Intermediary Identification Numbers (GIINs).
XML Digital Signature and Signature Validation compliant with the W3C XML Digital Signature Specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/) including schema validation.
IDES | AIA Reporter takes care of compressing the digitally signed data file, encrypting it, including certificate chain validation via OCSP or CRL, and naming it as required by ESTV/FTA or IDES standards. Thus, it produces the sender metadata file and the ESTV/FTA or FATCA data packet for you.
After successful upload, the sender receives a notification message from ESTV/FTA or IRS. For IRS messages, IDES | AIA Reporter validates this notification message using the same cryptographic mechanisms, thus guaranteeing your FATCA file validity and confirming the success of the tax reporting process.
Among others, IDES | AIA Reporter security features include the production of RSA signatures employing any hash function from the SHA family, support for RSA keys in PKCS#12 file format, AES cipher, secure memory locked vectors and secure memory wipe out after usage.
