House · The DAAT Institute
Knowledge of the House

What is changing across 190+ jurisdictions — and what it means for your structure.

The DAAT Institute is the regulatory intelligence of the House. Not a news feed, not a circular about “trends.” An account of what has already been enacted or is about to take effect, and the single line that matters for your particular position. The letters are read by the inner circle. The structure is led by a partner.

What it is

Intelligence, not reaction.

Most learn of a change in the law from a tax authority’s query or a bank’s refusal. The DAAT Institute exists so that the House learns first — and so that you learn from the House, calmly, before the change reaches your structure.

Each letter answers three questions: what precisely has changed, which clients of the House it touches, and what move must be made — or left unmade. Without alarmism and without “rebuild everything at once.” Where a position holds, we say it holds. Where a crack has appeared, we name it plainly.

Letters of the House · 2026

Six briefings now on the board

JanCRS: the eighth cycle of automatic exchangeThe networks for the exchange of financial information have widened by several more jurisdictions; the “quiet” havens for passive holdings have all but vanished. What is disclosed about the beneficiary — and when the bank comes to know it.→FebCARF — exchange on crypto-assets, beginning 2027The Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework passes from text into practice: from 2027 exchanges and custodians begin to transmit data on owners. A structure built around crypto-capital must be put in order before the first exchange, not after.→MarPillar 2 — a minimum 15% tax for large groupsThe global minimum tax is deployed across most major jurisdictions. For families holding international groups through holding companies, the very arithmetic of ownership changes — along with the places where, before, “nothing was paid.”→AprThe Russia–UAE treaty — a 10% source rate in place of 15%The double-taxation treaty applies from 2026. On dividends, interest and royalties a treaty rate is available — but only with properly arranged residency and a TRC for Treaty Purposes. An “ordinary” certificate does not unlock the relief.→MayThe end of the UK non-dom regimeThe British regime of untaxed foreign income has closed, replaced by a residence-based model. Those who built personal capital around the non-dom status are rebuilding their footing — residency, trust, reporting — on the new rules.→JunDIFC — the Variable Capital Company, 2026In the DIFC the VCC regime is now live: a flexible shell for funds and family capital under English common law in the Gulf. A new instrument for those building a structure in Dubai, closer to the sources of capital.→
The full texts of the letters lie within the mandate. Access opens upon introduction.
For whom

Two circles of readers

Clients of the House
Those who hold a standing mandate receive not a general survey but a personal note: “this letter concerns your structure, and here is what we have already done or propose to do.” The regulatory radar is built into the engagement — the House reacts, not you.
The method of the House · four moves
The inner circle
Those introduced by the House or by a partner of the circle gain access to the letters before any mandate begins — to understand how the House thinks before entrusting it with a structure. This is not marketing. It is a specimen of judgement.

Knowledge of the market is worth precisely what its discipline is worth.

“We keep silent about ourselves — and so we are trusted to keep silent about you.”
