FATCA Services
Understanding FATCA
FATCA is a US law aimed at preventing tax evasion by US persons holding financial assets outside the United States. Enacted in 2010, FATCA requires US taxpayers to report their foreign financial accounts and offshore assets. It also mandates foreign financial institutions (FFIs) to report to the IRS information about financial accounts held by US taxpayers or foreign entities in which US taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest.
