FATCA - The Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act

Why Should You Attend:

FATCA was enacted by Congress in 2010 as part of the HIRE Act. It attempts to restore tax fairness by focusing on foreign financial assets of US citizens that are not being properly reported and taxed. With the announcement of final regulations in February 2013, the US Department of the Treasury and the IRS have been busy designing, implementing and executing intergovernmental agreements, new and revised forms, and instructions to force US citizens and foreign financial institutions into compliance.
