• FATCA

    Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) aims to prevent tax evasion by anyone who resorts to non-US financial institutions to protect their income.

To respond to this new requirement of the banking sector, Quidgest developed the FATCA Solution, which ensures the institutions’ compliance with this new regulation. Under this legislation, foreign financial institutions are required to report to the US tax authorities the holders of bank accounts that are US citizens or foreign citizens who have an obligation to the US tax system (known as US Persons).

“FACTA Quidgest guarantees a thorough screening and proper reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS)”
