It has scheduled a live webcast entitled: “Emerging Issues: FATCA Goes Global LIVE Webcast” This two-hour event is scheduled on April 13, 2015 from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm (ET)

Event Synopsis:

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) will come into effect in 2016, forcing overseas banks to disclose account information of US citizens to the Internal Revenue Service or face a 30% withholding ‘tax’. The OECD has introduced the Automatic Exchange of Information (”OECD”) guidelines to help countries standardize these rules for non-US transactions. Unlike FATCA, the OECD guidelines are reciprocal and tax people once based upon their residency.

In a 2-hour live webcast, a panel of key thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will provide an overview of Emerging Issues as FATCA Goes Global to help attendees to understand the wide and costly scope of the Act and its potential effects upon national and foreign banks and financial firms, foreign governments, companies, and individual taxpayers. Speakers also will discuss the consequences of the OECD guidelines.

Key topics include:

- Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
- OECD Global Standard for Automatic Exchange of Information
- Costs of FATCA – Monetary, Social, Political
- Benefits and Draw-backs of AEIO for Global Financial Firms
- FATCA Legal Actions and Non-Compliance Risk Management
