Cash Pools and CRS reporting

In multi­na­tional enter­prises spe­cial­ized trea­sury func­tions like cash pool­ing are often con­cen­trated in one entity. The ques­tion is whether these cash pool enti­ties will be con­sid­ered finan­cial insti­tu­tions under the CRS and need to report account bal­ances and inter­ests for all related enti­ties as con­trol­ling persons.

Cash pool­ing serves to man­age liq­uid­ity in a group of related com­pa­nies and reduce financ­ing costs, notional cash pool­ing means that no phys­i­cal trans­fer of funds occurs, rather the cash pool­ing entity man­ages all funds by ledger entries. Other types of cash pool­ing that involve phys­i­cal trans­fers of cash are zero bal­anc­ing cash pools, where related enti­ties empty their accounts at the end of each day and trans­fer the money to a bank account of the group’ s cash pool­ing entity.

In the lan­guage of the CRS the ques­tion is whether a cash pool­ing entity is a “Depos­i­tory Insti­tu­tion” that accepts deposits in the ordi­nary course of a bank­ing or sim­i­lar busi­ness. (see Sec­tion VIII A 5 CRS). One ques­tion is whether notional cash pool­ing, i.e. enter­ing num­bers in a spread­sheet at the cash pool­ing entity, cre­ates a deposit. The dif­fer­ence to a bank account is not that great since even at a bank, accounts are main­tained elec­tron­i­cally; thus it seems an exer­cise of hair­split­ting to dis­tin­guish deposits under notional cash pool­ing from “typ­i­cal” deposits.

Def­i­n­i­tions of deposit are often use­less (see e.g. bank deposit — money deposited in a bank or some sim­i­lar insti­tu­tion) and even in the con­text of bank­ing law rather not elu­ci­dat­ing for the ques­tion at hand (UK bank­ing act of 1987):

a sum of money paid on terms under which it will be repaid, with or with­out inter­est or a premium.

To dis­tin­guish between enti­ties that engage in cash pool­ing activ­i­ties on behalf of related enti­ties or unre­lated enti­ties equally does not seem fruit­ful. Even related enti­ties may main­tain deposits with each other. All this leaves us to con­clude that a cash pool­ing entity takes deposits and is con­se­quently a finan­cial insti­tu­tion for pur­poses of the CRS.

How­ever, the CRS attempts to exempt financ­ing and hedg­ing trans­ac­tions with, or for, Related Enti­ties from the report­ing require­ments. It unfor­tu­nately does so in a cir­cu­lar way. The CRS provides:

The term “Active NFE” means any NFE that meets any of the fol­low­ing cri­te­ria: the NFE pri­mar­ily engages in financ­ing and hedg­ing trans­ac­tions with, or for, Related Enti­ties that are not Finan­cial Insti­tu­tions, and does not pro­vide financ­ing or hedg­ing ser­vices to any Entity that is not a Related Entity, pro­vided that the group of any such Related Enti­ties is pri­mar­ily engaged in a busi­ness other than that of a Finan­cial Institution.

A cash pool­ing entity cer­tainly engages in a financ­ing activ­ity with or for Related Enti­ties and hence would qual­ify for the label of “Active NFE”, that is an active non-financial entity. The prob­lem is that we just decided that cash pools are finan­cial insti­tu­tions whereas the sec­tion quoted relates only to non finan­cial enti­ties. Hence, it seems that the drafters of the CRS shot them­selves in the foot when attempt­ing to exempt cash pools. The exemp­tion only applies to non-financial enti­ties, a cash pool how­ever is a finan­cial entity.

Con­se­quently, a cash pool needs to report the account bal­ances of all related enti­ties whose cash it admin­is­ters to the com­pe­tent author­ity. Hope­fully, no major soft­ware pack­age is needed for report­ing. Rumour has it that var­i­ous juris­dic­tions will offer a man­ual input of data via a web interface.

In the famous words spo­ken to Oscar win­ner Lau­rel by his seem­ingly more intel­li­gent sidekick:

This is another fine mess you´ve got­ten me into.
