Compliance Workshop for Foreign Financial Institutions
Even though FATCA is now operative, many foreign financial institutions (FFIs) and associated organisations are still not clear on what they should be doing.
Under FATCA all foreign financial institutions must disclose U.S. 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 U.S.-sourced payments.
If you are still not certain as how to exactly comply with the FATCA requirements and set up all the necessary structures and controls, this very practical one day course is just for you.
- The technical requirements of FATCA
- How FATCA compliance can be effectively achieved and
