The first reporting deadline for FATCA, 31 of March 2015, is fast approaching. Meanwhile, many foreign financial institutions (FFIs) and associated organisations are still not clear on what they should be doing.
Day after day the phone rings in our offices. And it’s the same question or variations of it… again and again and again.
- “We are an investment firm … and we need help with getting FATCA on track”
- “…small investment bank … our staff are at a loss over FATCA”
- "We have a small problem with FATCA … can you help us getting started?”
Under FATCA all foreign financial institutions must disclose US account holders and their account activities. Failure to comply with FATCA will be costly and may subject foreign financial institutions to a 30% withholding tax on US-sourced payments.
If you are not certain or are at a loss as to what you have to do and how this has to be done, this one-day training course is for you.
