It is a good law for greatly discouraging people from moving their wealth to a safer place... This will help keep the money inside the country until the fed gov can figure out how to steal it too! The problem with this country for years was the money leaving it. No more sending money home to Mexico. |

machobird User ID: 27515247 United States 11/11/2012 04:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | FATCA Delay Offers Some Breathing Room Print Email Reprints inShare.2November 6, 2012 By Michael Cohn, Editor-in-Chief, AccountingToday.comThe Internal Revenue Service’s decision to modify the timelines for withholding agents and foreign banks to comply with the stiff new due diligence requirements under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act is providing them, as well as taxpayers and preparers, with some welcome relief. Mike Laveman FATCA was included as part of the HIRE Act of 2010 and requires foreign financial institutions, including hedge funds, to report to the Internal Revenue Service on the foreign holdings of U.S. taxpayers or else face large penalties. The requirements have provoked an outcry abroad, particularly from dual citizens and expatriates, in addition to the financial institutions that are expected to comply. Some foreign banks reportedly have been reluctant to do business with U.S. customers, and some expats have even renounced their U.S. citizenship. Late last month, the IRS announced that it has delayed the timelines for withholding agents and foreign banks in completing the due diligence requirements (see IRS Modifies FATCA Timelines). Foreign financial institutions will have until Jan. 1, 2017 to start withholding taxes from U.S. taxpayers’ investment gains and until Jan. 1, 2014, to put in place the reporting requirements mandated by FATCA.

If not, then this law is absolute bullshit because purchasing goods from overseas is sending money out of the country in exchange for goods, I can't see how imports won't be affected as well. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 15640364 United States 11/11/2012 04:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The law requires that any financial institution (US or foreign) remitting any foreign payment to a bank in such a country withhold 30 percent of the amount of such payment and remit that percentage to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a tax. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19461620 A withholdable payment is defined as any payment of interest, dividends, rents, salaries, wages, premiums, annuities, compensation, enumerations, emoluments, and other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gains, profits and income, if such payment is from sources within the United States. To wire transfer $100,000 to Panama, for example, to purchase a piece of real estate, one would have to agree to send $142,000 so that a net $100,000 would reach its destination. Who would be inclined or willing to pay 30 percent more in a global transaction in order to satisfy these requirements? Almost nobody. [link to www.munknee.com] Good It should be 80% |

If someone, no ANYONE, wants to get something, no ANYTHING, into or out of any country on Earth, it is usually easily done. There may be countries where it is more difficult like North Korea, but still doable. I can take care of ANY of your needs in this regard. Art Vandelay - "Vandelay Industries" (export-import) |

The problem with this country for years was the money leaving it. No more sending money home to Mexico. You're absolutely wrong. The only thing that has prevented the US dollar from going into a hyper-inflationary spiral, is the fact that at any given moment 60% of it is NOT in the country. Very soon, within the next couple years, the US dollar will be abandoned as the world reserve currency, which is already on the way as many countries have ALREADY abandoned it. When that happens, trillions of dollars that live overseas, are going to come flooding home and there will be no way to stop the massive inflation. When bread costs you $50 a loaf, and $80 a gallon for gasoline, remember how you wanted this to happen. |
