Reporting Season 2026

About This Report 

Global tax reporting is entering a new era. 

For more than a decade, financial institutions have built their compliance programmes around annual reporting deadlines. Reporting season was viewed as a defined period of activity, a time to validate data, generate reports, submit regulatory filings and prepare for the next cycle. 

That operating model is rapidly changing. 

Regulators around the world are increasing their expectations around data quality, governance, auditability and ongoing compliance. New frameworks such as the OECD's Common Reporting Standard (CRS) 2.0, the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), and regional initiatives including DAC8 are expanding both the scope and complexity of tax reporting. At the same time, updates to existing tax documentation, enhanced due diligence requirements and increasing regulatory scrutiny are placing greater operational demands on financial institutions than ever before. 

Reporting is no longer simply about meeting a deadline. It is about maintaining accurate data throughout the year, demonstrating effective governance, and being able to evidence every decision made during the reporting lifecycle. 

This report has been developed to help financial institutions understand the changing regulatory landscape, prepare for upcoming reporting obligations, and identify practical strategies for improving operational readiness.
