Tax Transparency

Non-US financial institutions need to comply with due diligence, withholding, reporting and compliance obligations imposed by various US Tax Transparency regimes. Those regimes primarily aim at disclosing US taxpayers holding offshore investments (FATCA) and ensuring that the correct withholding rate is applied on direct and indirect investments in US securities (QI and 871(m)).

International Tax Transparency regimes require the identification and reporting of reportable offshore financial accounts (AEOI/CRS) as well as potentially aggressive cross-border tax-planning arrangements (DAC6/MDR). Once financial institutions or intermediaries report relevant accounts or arrangements to their local tax authorities, the local tax authorities will automatically exchange the data with the tax authorities in the taxpayers’ jurisdiction of tax residence with the goal to increase tax transparency and compliance globally.
