On May 7th, at the 26th Annual Tax Reporting & Withholding
Conference in Arlington, VA, IRS representatives discussed timelines and
release dates pertaining to Chapter 4 (FATCA) implementation.
§ Final regulations are still expected to be
released at the end of this summer.
§ Draft FFI Agreements should be available by
the end of June.
§ There may still be some flexibility in the
implementation deadlines; however, the IRS needs to know how much time is
needed for each portion and requested specific comments.
§ Coordinating rules for FATCA and Chapter 3
(U.S. nonresident withholding) and Chapter 61 (backup withholding) are in
process.
§ There is work being undertaken to develop a
model intergovernmental agreement; however, no specifics were provided on when
a model intergovernmental agreement would be provided.
In addition, the IRS
said that there will be a Form W-8 for individuals, and a Form W-8 for
entities. The Form W-8 for entities is expected to be complex.
