Event synopsis:
On April 8, 2011, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued Notice 2011-34, which provides supplemental guidance on the preparation, documentation and withholding requirements under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), provisions of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act.
Under this new guidance, all foreign financial institutions (FFIs) will be required to enter special agreements with the Internal Revenue Services (IRS). These agreements include a new 30 percent withholding tax on certain foreign entities that refuse disclosure of the identities of these U.S. persons.
Some of the key areas addressed in this webcast:
- Important guidelines identifying U.S. accounts among their pre-existing individual accounts
- Initial guidance on passthru payments
- Obligation of FFIs to report with respect to U.S. accounts
- Rules for the treatment of qualified intermediaries under section 1471
- Application of section 1471 to expanded affiliated groups of FFIs
- Compliance date of FFI Agreements
- Executive management oversight with compliance reporting obligations to board of directors and monitoring bodies
- Due diligence and compliance requirements for both FFIs
- And other up to the minute compliance guidelines update
These changes will affect foreign banks and other financial institutions in any industry with an international operation. The question now is what’s a FFIs to do?
