The solution is the result of close collaboration between the two companies.
Through Valordata Feed (VDF) Telekurs Financial is the leading provider of EUSD-related information to organisations within those countries and territories affected by the Directive and the Swiss Tax Authorities who use Telekurs Financial as their only source of EUSD data. Data from VDF forms a vital part of Xceptor EUSD Hub.
EUSD came into force on July 1 2005, with the aim of countering tax evasion by individuals receiving cross-border payments of savings income the Xceptor EUSD Hub integrates seamlessly and quickly into organisations, allowing paying agents to meet the reporting requirements of the Directive, whichever tax authority is reported to.
Xceptor EUSD Hub manages the entire process from the acceptance of interest data, beneficiary holder data and financial instrument reference data through validation and scoping right up to the generation of the required reports to tax authorities. Xceptor® EUSD Hub additionally provides a document management system of all relevant tax authority and holder forms allowing one implementation to service the demands of multiple tax authorities.
