FATCA & CRS Verification
What is the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and Common Reporting Standard (CRS)?
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is intended to capture United States (U.S.) persons’ account information for reporting to U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which may be investing and earning income through non-U.S. institutions.

The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) is a global standard introduced by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for the automatic exchange of financial information between jurisdictions that have agreed to participate.
How am I affected by these legislations?
Malaysia has gazetted the FATCA and CRS legislations. Therefore, BM Digital is required to collect and report certain information to the local tax authority, namely the Inland Revenue Board Malaysia (IRBM), concerning the status of its customers, which also includes information on the country of tax residence of the customers.

Subsequently, for the iMAS Gold account opening, BM Digital requires you to complete the FATCA & CRS verification that includes a declaration of your tax residence status and/or your US person status.
What is my tax residency?
Tax residency refers to where you are considered as a resident for tax purposes.
Generally, individuals are a tax resident of the jurisdiction in which they live. However, being a permanent resident in a jurisdiction is not a determinant of tax residency.

Please note that BM Digital is not in the position to advise you on your tax residency status. You may consult your tax advisor on your tax residency status.
What happens if my tax residency / personal information changes?
What will be reported to the IRBM?
If you have been identified as a tax resident of a country/jurisdiction outside of Malaysia (for CRS purposes) or a specified US Person (for FATCA purposes), your account and financial details may be reported to the IRBM during the annual CRS and FATCA reporting, and such information will be exchanged with the relevant country/jurisdiction by the IRBM, as required under the Malaysian FATCA & CRS legislations.
What does “US Person” mean?
“US person” means a US citizen or resident individual, a partnership or corporation organised in the US or under the laws of the US or any state thereof, a trust if (i) a court within the US would have authority under applicable law to render orders or judgments concerning substantially all issues regarding administration of the trust, and (ii) one or more US Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or an estate of a decedent that is a citizen or resident of the US.

Generally, a US Person would also include US tax residents, as well as individuals whose place of birth is in the US (except where the US citizenship has been relinquished).
What happens in the event of any incorrect FATCA & CRS declaration / certification?
It is an offence under section 113A of the Malaysia Income Tax Act, 1967 if any person provides incorrect information in the FATCA & CRS Declaration/Certification. Such offence is punishable for the person who makes the incorrect declaration and/or certification, with a monetary fine and/or imprisonment, upon conviction.
What will happen if I refuse to disclose the required FATCA & CRS information?
BM Digital will not be able to open a trading account for you if you refuse to disclose the required FATCA & CRS information.

Investor Portfolio
What is my Gold account?
Your Gold account depicts the current ownership of gold that you hold in your account.



The valuation of the investor's gold is calculated based on the Live Sell Gold Price x Ownership of Gold in grams.

For example,
Current gold ownership (g) = 0.5g
Live Sell Gold Price (RM) = RM260/g
Valuation of gold = (0.5g) x (RM260/g)
= RM130
What is “Profit/Loss”?
It refers to the amount of money gained or lost on your portfolio of trades. It is mainly used to evaluate the performance of investment portfolios.
How do I calculate Profit/Loss?
It is calculated by subtracting the average cost of the trades (including transaction fees) from the current gold sell price multiplied by current gold owned.

For example,
Current gold owned = 3.00g
Average cost = RM201.67/g
Profit/loss = (Current selling price – Average cost) x Current gold owned

= (RM202/g – RM201.67) x 3.00g
= RM0.33/g x 3.00g
= RM0.99
Why does the profit loss indicator change colours (red, green, gray)?
Each colour indicator represents the current value of your gold account:

Red – Loss (Reduction) in gold value
Green – Profit (Gain) in gold value
Gray - Unchanged gold value
What is ‘Buy’ & ‘Sell’ price
Buy price is the amount that an investor is willing to pay for gold.

The sell price (also known as the ask price) is the amount that an investor is willing to accept to sell the gold.
Why is there a difference in the gold price during certain period of time?
The gold price has a different rate of spread due to the effect of peak hours and non-peak hours.
What is “Transfer”?
Transfer refers to the transfer of gold (in grams) up to approximately RM300,000 per month to another registered iMAS Gold investor.
What is “Redeem”?
Redeem refers to the request for the physical redemption of an investor’s gold iMAS Gold coin. You can redeem your iMAS Gold coin by choosing the redeem option on your app.
What is meant by gold price chart?
The gold price chart is a graphical representation of the historical price movements of gold over a specific period.
