Select the forward button to move to the next page. (1 +2) FATCA stands for the ‘Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act’. (3) This Act was introduced by the US government to prevent tax avoidance by US citizens and organizations who invest their money using Foreign Financial Institutions or ‘FFI’s. (4) The Act requires that FFIs in every country of the world: Register with the IRS Notify the IRS of all their US customers Report specific account information back to the IRS (or the relevant authority) (5) By complying with FATCA in this way, FFI’s achieve the status of a ‘Participating Foreign Financial Institution’, or PFFI.

FATCA legislation is applied differently in IGA versus non-IGA countries – select the tiles below for more information.

[3] Withhold a 30% tax on income which is sourced in the US and paid to Non-Participating FFIs and Recalcitrant Customers. This income can be interest, dividends, or sales proceeds. Please note that in an IGA country, withholding this tax on recalcitrant customers is not required.
