TDE at 12: A Dozen Years of Trusted FATCA and CRS Reporting

This marks the twelfth year, that TDE from Vega has helped hundreds of clients across multiple jurisdictions submit thousands of accurate FATCA and CRS returns with confidence.

What began as a focused reporting solution has evolved into a robust, trusted platform used by trust companies, fund administrators, pension providers and corporate service firms who need certainty in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

Built for a Changing Regulatory Landscape

From the outset, TDE has been designed with one clear objective: make regulatory reporting straightforward, accurate and manageable.

FATCA and CRS obligations have continued to expand over the last decade. Jurisdictions join directives at different times, schema versions change, validation rules tighten and local variations add further complexity. TDE has consistently stayed ahead of these developments.

New jurisdictions are added in advance of reporting deadlines. Regulatory updates are monitored closely. Schema changes and evolving technical requirements are incorporated proactively. Clients are not left scrambling to react to last minute changes.

Accuracy, Validation and Control

Successful submission is not just about generating an XML file. It is about ensuring the data behind it is complete, validated and structured correctly before it reaches the regulator.

TDE provides structured data validation and error checking to identify issues early. This reduces rejected submissions, avoids unnecessary back and forth with regulators and gives reporting teams greater control over their compliance processes.

For many organisations, this has translated into reduced risk, improved efficiency and far less pressure around reporting season.

Preparing for What Comes Next: CARF and Beyond

The regulatory environment is not standing still. The introduction of the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework, known as CARF, signals another significant shift in international tax transparency.

TDE is already positioned to support the next phase of reporting requirements. As with FATCA and CRS, the focus remains on early preparation, schema readiness and ensuring that clients can adapt smoothly as new obligations come into force.

The lesson of the past decade is clear. Regulatory reporting will continue to evolve. Systems must evolve with it.

A Dozen Years of Delivery

Twelve years on, TDE remains focused on the same core principles: accuracy, reliability and regulatory foresight.

Hundreds of successful submissions across numerous jurisdictions speak for themselves. As reporting obligations expand and new frameworks such as CARF take shape, TDE continues to provide the stability and adaptability firms need.

There is still time to ensure your reporting processes are future ready. Contact Vega to arrange a demonstration and see how TDE can support your next reporting cycle.
