UP TO US$ 1190! The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) was enacted in 2011 as part of the United States Government’s Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act and is an important development in the U.S.’s efforts to combat tax evasion by U.S. persons holding investment in offshore accounts. Under FATCA, U.S. taxpayers holding financial assets outside the United States are required under U.S. Federal Law to report these assets to the IRS, and it is necessary for foreign financial institutions to enter into disclosure compliance agreements with the U.S. Treasury, and all non-financial foreign entities (NFFEs) must report and/or certify their ownership to be subject to the same 30 percent withholding.
HOW ARE YOU AFFECTED?
“Banks around the world are starting to wake up to what Ernst & Young calls the “completely new and extended information and reporting systems” that will be required by FATCA.”
Financial institutions are required to report directly to the IRS certain information about financial accounts held by U.S. taxpayers, or by foreign entities in which U.S. taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest. According to a recent survey by KPMG, Finance and Tax Executives in the banking industry expect significant increases in compliance costs as a result of FATCA, with account identification requirements posing the most significant compliance challenges.

FATCA Explained Part 1:
FATCA Explained Part 2:
Essential Knowledge On The Fundamentals Of FATCA And What You Need To Know To Successfully Implement It
Documentation And Reporting – Getting It Right From The Beginning
The potential impact that FATCA will have on banks and financial institutions is unprecedented. The scope is vast and financial institutions in the Middle East and around the world will be confronted, like it or not, with the major challenge of implementing FATCA. FATCA is more than a compliance procedure – it will involve overhauling your information and reporting systems in preparation for the new regulation.
The introduction of FATCA and its stricter withholding, documentation and reporting requirements will make an already complex and time consuming process even more so. Reporting requirements will not only apply to source income and income from redemptions and disposals – but also account movements, balances and savings accounts.
FATCA Explained Part 1 will act as a roadmap between where your institution is and where it needs to be – by when. Enhance your understanding of the FATCA provisions with detailed information on how banks and financial institutions need to prepare for compliance.
The Workshop Will Focus On The Following Key Areas: •
Introducing FATCA its continuing evolution and the current state of the regime
•
A critical update on FATCA basics and mechanics
•
Understanding when FATCA withholding applies and what is subject to withholding
•
How do Foreign Financial Institutions (FFIs) become FATCA compliant?
•
Deciphering what is a FFI under FATCA and what is not
•
How do you determine what is a compliant FFI?
•
Using agents and qualified intermediaries to perform the necessary due diligence and take the necessary action to maintain FFI status
•
Account documentation: Understanding the issues, working within the parameters established by FATCA and getting documentary evidence correct
•
Knowing what the information reporting requirements are
•
Creating a project plan and establishing a team to prepare for FATCA
•
Understanding the FATCA timeline and how long it will take your organisation to become compliant

FATCA Explained Part 2 will take you through the documentation and reporting process step-by-step to ensure a complete understanding of what needs to be done, how to get there, the critical IT systems and partners you must involve and who in your organisation will be affected by the FATCA regime. Failure to comply with the necessary documentation and reporting requirements will result in the withholding of 30% of the proceeds of U.S. securities.
The Workshop Will Focus On The Following Key Areas: •
Understanding FATCAs documentation and reporting process, what you need to do and where to start
•
Documentation and due diligence procedures
•
What is the responsibility of the compliance officer? What are his or her obligation?

Completing the customer identification procedures – how long do you get? From when?

•
Can the documentation challenges be overcome?
