FATCA overview and recap

■ The goal of FATCA is to reduce the possibility of U.S. tax evasion by U.S. individuals who invest in offshore accounts and offshore vehicles.

■ FATCA aims to accomplish this goal by requiring foreign financial institutions (“FFIs” - banks, custodians, insurance companies, investment funds, certain types of fund service providers, etc.) to identify and report to the IRS all U.S. account holders. In the case of funds and certain types of fund service providers, equity investors and debt-holders will be considered to be account holders.

■ FATCA introduces a withholding tax of 30% to be applied on any US source income and gross proceeds paid to non-participating foreign financial institutions and/or any other person or entity that does not identify themselves.

■ The new withholding tax can be avoided if foreign financial institutions enter into an agreement with the IRS to carry out due diligence on their new and existing accounts and report on specified US persons annually.

■ There have been a few slips to the original expected timescale. All foreign financial institutions (who are not within a IGA country) are expected to register with the IRS before 25 October 2013 and will need to enter into an agreement with the IRS to avoid any FATCA withholding.

■ Under the terms of the FFI agreement, financial institutions will be required to put certain measures in place over a three year period, as specified by the IRS.

■ In order to support the underlying policy of FATCA, but to negate certain issues, some countries signed up to IGAs with the IRS. These are broadly Model 1 or Model 2 agreements.

■ A Model 1 agreement is a reciprocal agreement which is entails certain local law to be enacted, and reporting will be done directly with the local tax authorities.

FATCA Goal

Concept

Intergovernmental Agreements


What are the risks of FATCA non-compliance?

Under FATCA Under Model I IGA Commercial Non-compliant institutions subject to

30% withholding tax on US gross proceeds, potentially putting many out of business.

Eliminates withholding tax on gross proceeds and on passthru payments while the issue is studied.

Removing need for withholding engine and simplifying client on-boarding may cut cost of compliance by 25%.

Reputational Threat to client relationships from incorrectly withholding 30% of gross proceeds due to internal errors or customer not identifying themselves properly.

Potential friction resulting from withholding eliminated for the time being.

Do not have to withhold on or terminate relationships with recalcitrants who refuse to disclose information.

Legal In some jurisdictions, data privacy and banking secrecy laws make complying with FATCA illegal.

Responsible officers who wrongly certify their firm complies with FATCA potentially risk jail.

No responsible officer certification required (although as-yet undefined local country certification requirements may be introduced).

IGA Harmonization

■ Model 1 IGA: FFIs covered by a Model 1 IGA, and that are in compliance with local laws implemented to identify and report US accounts in accordance with the terms of the Model I IGA, will be treated as satisfying the due diligence and reporting requirements of Chapter 4.

– Model 1 FFI’s do not need to apply the final regulations for purposes of complying with and avoiding withholding under FATCA, but may do so if the local jurisdiction allows.

■ Model 2 IGA: FFIs covered by Model 2 IGA with the US will be required to implement FATCA in the manner prescribed by the final regulations except to the extent expressly modified by the Model 2 IGA.

■ Pressure to Enter Into IGAs - Quickly: The FATCA final regulations retain the sunset on 31 December 2015 of expanded affiliated group qualification for participating FFIs outside IGA jurisdictions if there is a limited FFI or limited branch in the group.

Am I a financial Institution?

Financial Institution


ENTITY CLASSIFICATION

■ Investment Entity: Definition was expanded to generally align with the IGA definition. For example, managers and administrators, are now captured.

■ Passive NFFEs: Entities with more than 50% passive assets or income that are not professionally managed are treated as NFFEs rather than FFIs.

■ Depository Institutions: In addition to accepting deposits, the definition is narrowed in that the entity must also conduct banking or financing activity (listed) on a regular basis. (e.g., designed to exclude certain finance companies and acceptance of collateral or security pursuant to a lease or loan).

■ Holding Companies and Treasury Centers: limits the circumstance when a holding company or treasury center is treated as financial institution. Limited in two situations:

– (1) if the expanded affiliated group (“EAG”) includes a depository institution, custodial institution, insurance company or an investment entity; and

– (2) if the entity is formed or availed of by any fund or similar investment vehicle.

SCOPE OF COVERED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS


ENTITY CLASSIFICATION (Cont.)

■ Excepted Inter-affiliate FFIs: A member of a PFFI group is not an FFI if it:

– does not maintain financial accounts (other than for group members);

– does not hold an account with or receive payment from a withholding agent other than a group member;

– does not make withholdable payments to any person other than group members (who are not limited FFIs or limited branches); and

– has agreed not to report or act as an agent for chapter 4 purposes on behalf of any financial institution (including group members).

■ Registered Deemed Compliant Qualified Card Issuers: limited to an FFI that is an issuer of credit cards that accepts deposits only when a customer makes payment in excess of the balance due and the overpayment is not immediately refunded.

■ Registered Deemed Compliant Sponsored FFIs: Consolidates due diligence, reporting and withholding for a group of FFIs in one trustee, fund manager or US financial institution (with regard to its controlled foreign corporations) that has the ability to manage and enter into contracts on behalf of the sponsored FFIs.

Expansion of Deemed Compliant and Other Exempt Categories


ENTITY CLASSIFICATION (Cont.)

■ Limited Life Debt Investment Entities (until 1 January 2017): This transitional certified deemed compliant category is for entities (SPVs) in existence on 31 December 2011, which were created to securitize certain types of indebtedness.

■ Registered Deemed Compliant Qualified Collective Investment Vehicles: alternative qualification for registration requirement permitted where fund manager is regulated with regard to an investment fund in all places the fund is registered.

■ Registered Deemed Compliant Restricted Funds: These funds are given an extra six months after registration to renegotiate their distribution agreements to add the distribution prohibitions. Sales are now restricted to specified US persons.

■ Retirement Funds: the fund will still qualify as exempt under the category of exempt beneficial owner even if it is not the beneficial owner.

■ RDCFFIs now have six months to cure defaults before they lose their status.

Expansion of Deemed Compliant and Other Exempt Categories

? ?

Annex I IGA? US Treasury Regulations?

Can Reporting FATCA Partner Financial Institution use alternative procedures to fulfil due diligence obligations?

Is it a U.S. Reportable Account?

Is it an account held by a Nonparticipating Financial Institutions?


HARMONIZING OF IGA with US REGULATIONS

■ Guidance Notes: Financial Institutions should not be at a disadvantage from applying the UK legislation implementing the Agreement as compared to the position that they would have been in if applying the US Regulations. So if the US regulations subsequently introduce additional or broader exemptions it is that additional or broader exemption that should apply.

■ Summary Responses from UK on FATCA: UK business will be expected to fulfil the obligations set out in the UK regulations. However HMRC will continue to monitor the development of the US provisions and use the period before finalisation of the UK regulations to discuss with business whether amendments to the US provisions have an impact on the draft UK regulations. Once finalised UK businesses will be expected to operate the rules and obligations set out in the UK regulations alone.

UK Statements on Harmonization


What if a Reporting FATCA Partner does not comply with the obligations?

Minor and administrative errors:

Significant non-compliance:

■ FATCA Partner or U.S. Competent Authority can make a direct inquiry to a Reporting Financial Institution

■ Competent Authority may notify the Competent Authority of the other Party about making the inquiry to a Reporting Financial Institution

■ Competent Authority will notify the Competent Authority of the other Party when a Reporting Financial Institution is in significant non-compliance with obligations

■ Competent Authority of such Party will apply its domestic law (including penalties) to address significant non-compliance

■ Reporting FATCA Partner Financial Institution has 18 months to resolve the issue

■ Reporting FATCA Partner FI could be identified as a Nonparticipating FI by the IRS


What type of information a Reporting FATCA Partner Financial Institution could be required to report?

■ For individual U.S. Reportable Account and Recalcitrant Account accounts:

The name, address, and U.S. TIN of each Specified U.S. Person that is an Account Holder

The account number or functional equivalent ( e.g. a unique product identification number)

The name and identifying number of Reporting FATCA Partner Financial Institution

The account balance or value at the relevant calendar year end or as required

Additional information for specified accounts (e.g.: gross interest or dividends paid or credited)


What about Recalcitrant Account holders?

IF

No withholding tax

No requirement to close the account

and

The U.S. Treasury receives certain information with respect to such

account


What if another Partner Jurisdiction was granted better terms of the IGA than the FATCA Partner?

More favourable terms of another Partner Jurisdiction IGA:

FATCA Partner will be granted the benefit of any

more favourable terms

The U.S. will notify the FATCA Partner of any more favourable terms

The U.S. will also automatically apply such more favourable terms of

another Partner Jurisdiction


Approve Register Publish Update

Final FATCA Regulations – FATCA Portal Registration Process

From 15 July 2013, a financial institution registers and agrees to:

• comply with its obligations as a participating FFI or as a sponsoring FFI entity, or

• to act as a limited FFI or a registered deemed-compliant FFI (including reporting Model 1 FFIs).

FFIs in jurisdictions that have signed an IGA, but not ratified or implemented, may be able to register as Model 1 FFIs

The IRS approves the financial institution registration.

Upon such approval, the IRS intends to issue a Global Intermediary Identification Number (GIIN) to each participating FFI and registered deemed-compliant FFI.

GIINs will start being assigned on 15 October 2013

Beginning 2 December 2013, the IRS will electronically post the list (IRS FFI List) of participating FFIs and registered deemed-compliant FFIs with their corresponding GIINs.

The IRS currently contemplates that the GIIN may also be used by reporting Model 1 FFIs to satisfy reporting requirements under local law and is discussing this possibility with its Model 1 IGA partners

FFIs registering on or before 25 October 2013 will not be subject to withholding from 1 January 2014

The IRS intends to update the IRS FFI List on a monthly basis.

FFIs will need to validate the GIINs against the IRS FFI List within 90 days of account opening

FFIs need to validate that none of their FFI payees have lost their GIIN once a year


What Guidance are we Still Waiting For?

■ Final withholding certificates and instructions.

■ Reporting forms.

■ FFI agreements.

■ Harmonizing regulations under Chapters 3 and 61 (existing withholding rules).

■ IGA network continues to evolve.

– Several have been signed.

– Many more contemplated.

– IRS has yet to issue guidance related to reciprocal reporting by US financial institutions.

■ Crown Dependencies & Overseas Territories - UK FATCA

■ Pan-EU FATCA


Layers of operational complexity

One IGA country Lowered risk profile under the IGA turns FATCA into

a pure, and less expensive, compliance exercise.

Two IGA countries (one with local + one with direct IRS reporting)

Still a compliance exercise, albeit with slightly more complexity and risk.

Presence in IGA countries and US Compliance exercise, but significantly more complex - information

reporting reciprocity will likely add compliance burden to US withholding agents.

Presence in non-IGA jurisdictions Significant risks, with the IGA increasing the level of complexity. The CFO must be engaged in determining global standards and making strategic decisions on ways

to achieve compliance.

Issues to be addressed

■ Operational framework – highest common denominator?

■ Operating models differ by jurisdiction – how to transition midstream if the jurisdiction signs up for an IGA

■ What to do with limited FFIs – how long do you wait for the IGA? Transition relief at the 11th hour?

■ Closure, shifting or sale of entities/branches in certain non-IGA territories

■ Potential for over withholding – erroneously due to administrative error or not identifying grandfathered obligations

■ Utilization of third parties – how to police them

■ Effective governance framework for sponsoring FFIs

■ Service level agreements and legal document review


Realistic allocation of resources

■ Understanding of group and business policies

■ FATCA impact on each business function

■ Gap analysis of FATCA requirements and existing procedures and processes

■ Business requirements document outlining current systems capability and enhancements

■ Business requirement document for current processes including distribution arms, counter parties and third party service providers

■ Management team and business heads to identify and assign responsibilities to relevant functions to meet project timeframe

■ Planning for completion of deliverables at each phase within deadline to meet final deadline

■ Contingency workaround (back up) for delay in deliverables


Managing IT systems upgrades

■ Business sponsorship and approval

■ Existing priority business projects

■ Legal and compliance mandatory enhancements

■ Year-end systems freeze

■ System builds that may impact other modules

■ Business requirement specification

■ IT team to build and test

■ Training and communication

■ Risk v cost
