U.S. Currency Control Comes Into Effect Jan. 1, 2013! Will It Affect You?
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.

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.

What about American Expats who are employed by US companies but stationed offshore? What about their payroll accounts? They have to move money to Europe or Japan or wherever they are all the time. Otherwise how would they live? This is insanity for those people.

I thought that in October these new currency controls were delayed for a year, becoming effective January 1, 2014 instead of next year. Can anyone confirm this?

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.

Would this also apply to companies based here in the states purchasing products from abroad to sell to Americans? 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.

screw overseas employees

what are they doing anyway, working outside of the U.S.A.?

What, are jobs here not good enough for them? Screw them if they think they're better than the rest of us

Asshole so-called executives, serves them right...keep their money in the US where the government can help them redistribute it to help their fellow man

there are people trying to just feed their families, no one cares if a few rich people have to pay a little bit extra on thousands of dollars they probably stole anyway

Ha, Ha, Ha !
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.

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.
