2014 - FATCA (Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act) ? How to Comply with Minimal Withholding, Tax and Penalty Impact

Instructor: Miles Hutchinson
Description:
US authorities are determined to uncover hidden accounts of US persons holding assets abroad and ensure they are properly taxed. Learn about this complex law, the various types of agreements required to be executed between the IRS and foreign entities and foreign financial institutions, the account review requirements, the grandfather provisions and the reporting provisions of this new law.
FATCA was enacted by Congress in 2010 as part of the HIRE Act. It attempts to restore tax fairness by focusing on foreign financial assets of US Citizens that are not being properly reported and taxed. With the announcement of final regulations in February, 2013, the US Department of the Treasury and the IRS have been busy designing, implementing and executing intergovernmental agreements, new and revised forms, and instructions to force US Citizens and foreign financial institutions into compliance.
