Participating jurisdictions for the CRS applied standard

The Commissioner determined this list of Participating Jurisdictions effective from 1 April 2025. Since the last update in 2024, Armenia, Jordan, Rwanda, Senegal, and Tunisia have been added as Participating Jurisdictions. These are jurisdictions which are able to provide New Zealand with financial account information under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). The list of participating jurisdictions is important for financial institutions when conducting due diligence in respect of accounts held by passive non-financial entities.
