The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) was designed to help prevent tax evasion by U.S. citizens and taxpayers with offshore financial accounts. In an attempt to identify assets currently earning income outside the United States, the act requires U.S. individual taxpayers to report their foreign accounts, as well as foreign financial institutions to withhold tax on certain types of foreign dealings with U.S. entities. Heavily impacted by this law are U.S. companies doing business globally and financial institutions, however, even U.S. companies without foreign subsidiaries may be impacted by FATCA laws.
