Denmark Intergovernmental Agreement
On November 15, 2012, Denmark and the United States signed an Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) to improve international tax compliance and implement FATCA. The agreement is the same Model I agreement (reciprocal version) released in July by the United States and five European Union countries (France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom).
The category of Deemed-Compliant entities under Annex II includes, among others, collective investment vehicles, regulated by Danish law, held by or through Participating FFI(s). This category is similar to the one known as Qualified Collective Investment Vehicles in the Draft Regulations.
