FATCA

Ensuring compliance

FATCA addresses perceived abuses by U.S. taxpayers with respect to assets held offshore and requires participatory compliance from financial institutions and non-financial entities. Compliance involves updates of internal processes and may impact relationships with group entities and business partners.

FATCA requires payers of U.S. source income and gross proceeds to withhold 30% on payments to non-U.S. entities that do not comply with the FATCA obligations.
