Impact of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

The US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires Foreign Financial Institutions (FFIs) to sign an agreement with the US IRS which obliges the FFI to identify all US citizens and persons who are its clients (subject to certain exemptions), report information annually to the IRS on receipts, payments and balances for its US citizens and persons and deduct 30% tax on payments to accounts held by “recalcitrant” customers. The deadline for compliance is mid-2013 and failure to comply will result in the FFI suffering a 30% withholding tax on both income and principal payments.
