FATCA is a U.S. regulatory act that was enacted in 2010 by the U.S. Congress to target non-compliance by U.S. taxpayers using foreign accounts. FATCA generally requires that foreign financial institutions and certain other non-financial foreign entities report on the foreign assets held by their U.S. account holders or be subject to withholding on withholdable payments.

The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) is a standard for the automatic exchange of financial information developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for the purposes of combating tax evasion. The Russian Federation has joined the CRS by signing the Multilateral Agreement on the Exchange of Financial Account Information.
