On 17 January 2013, the US Department of the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final comprehensive regulations implementing the information reporting and withholding tax provisions commonly known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).
The final regulations provide additional clarity for financial institutions and governments by finalising the processes for US account identification, information reporting, and withholding requirements for foreign financial institutions (FFIs), other foreign entities, and US withholding agents.
