2 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

 FATCA – User Guide - Withholding

Overview
FATCA is a tax law designed at preventing US tax payers from evading US Tax by
holding income-producing assets through accounts at Foreign Financial institutions
(FFIs). FATCA brings about a significant change to the rules governing cross-border
payments and will have far reaching consequences.
Under FATCA, financial institutions must sign an agreement with the IRS to be
designated as a “participating foreign financial institution" or PFFI. The FFIs will be
required to identify US accounts and report about these accounts to IRS on an annual
basis.
Withholding taxes (30%) will apply to specified US source income (dividend, interest
payments and Original issue discount) in case of payments made to non-participating
FFIs, recalcitrant account holders or NFFEs that have not provided information
regarding its substantial owners. If the foreign institution is a PFFI, the U.S paying
agent will not have to withhold the payment but the PFFI would have to apply the
withholding to its investors – both US and non US persons – if they are not in
compliance with requirements of FATCA.
The Treasury Department has also collaborated with foreign governments to develop
two alternative model intergovernmental agreements (Model 1 IGA and Model 2 IGA)
that facilitate the effective and efficient implementation of FATCA in a manner that
removes domestic legal impediments to compliance, fulfils FATCA’s policy objectives,
and further reduces burdens on FFIs located in partner jurisdictions. Under the IGA
models, the United States shall not require a Reporting [FATCA Partner] Financial
Institution to withhold tax under FATCA provisions with respect to an account held by
a recalcitrant account holder or to close such account. The withholding is applicable
only on payments made to non-participating financial institutions.

Reporting
The financial institutions have an obligation to Obtain and exchange Information with
respect to reportable accounts. This paragraph provides rules addressing the
information reporting requirements applicable to participating FFIs with respect to U.S.
accounts. A participating FFI shall report by the time and in the manner prescribed in
the regulation, the information required with respect to accounts that it is required
under its FFI agreement and the regulation to treat as US accounts maintained at any
time during each calendar year.

(1) the name, address, and U.S. TIN of each Specified U.S. Person that is an Account
Holder of such account and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Entity that, after application of
the due diligence procedures, is identified as having one or more Controlling
Persons that is a Specified U.S. Person, the name, address, and U.S. TIN (if any) of
such entity and each such Specified U.S. Person;

(2) the account number (or functional equivalent in the absence of an account
number);

(3) the account balance or value (including, in the case of a Cash Value
Insurance Contract or Annuity Contract, the Cash Value or surrender value) as of the
end of the relevant calendar year or other appropriate reporting period or, if the
account was closed during such year, immediately before closure;

(4) In the case of any Custodial Account:

3 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

 FATCA – User Guide - Withholding

(A) the total gross amount of interest, the total gross amount of dividends, and the
total gross amount of other income generated with respect to the assets held in the
account, in each case paid or credited to the account (or with respect to the account)
during the calendar year or other appropriate reporting period; and

(B) the total gross proceeds from the sale or redemption of property paid or
credited to the account during the calendar year or other appropriate reporting
period with respect to which the Reporting Financial Institution acted as a
custodian, broker, nominee, or otherwise as an agent for the Account Holder;

(5) In the case of any Depository Account, the total gross amount of interest paid or
credited to the account during the calendar year or other appropriate reporting period;
and

(6) in the case of any account not described above, the total gross amount paid or
credited to the Account Holder with respect to the account during the calendar
year or other appropriate reporting period with respect to which the Reporting
Financial Institution is the obligor or debtor, including the aggregate amount of
any redemption payments made to the Account Holder during the calendar year or
other appropriate reporting period.

The reporting obligations become effective in a phased manner as shown below:

(1) the information to be obtained and exchanged with respect to 2014 is only
the information described in (1) to (3) above;

(2) the information to be obtained and exchanged with respect to 2015 is all of
the above , except for gross proceeds described in subparagraph (4); and

(3) the information to be obtained and exchanged with respect to 2016 and
subsequent years is all the information described above.

The address to be reported with respect to an account held by a specified U.S. person
is the residence address recorded by the FFI for the account holder or, if no residence
address is associated with the account holder, the address for the account used for
mailing or for other purposes by the participating FFI. In the case of an account held
by a U.S. owned foreign entity, the addresses to be reported are the addresses of both
the U.S. owned foreign entity and each substantial U.S. owner of such entity.

The account number to be reported with respect to an account is the identifying

number assigned by the participating FFI for purposes other than to satisfy the
reporting requirements of this regulation or, if no such number is assigned to the
account, a unique serial number or other number such FFI assigns to the financial
account that distinguishes the account from other accounts maintained by such
institution.

The FFI shall report the balance or value of the account as of the end of the calendar
year. The balance or value of the account is not to be reduced by any liabilities or
obligations incurred by an account holder with respect to the account or any of the
assets held in the account and is not to be reduced by any fees, penalties or other
charges to which the account holder is liable for terminating, transferring,
surrendering, liquidating, or withdrawing cash from the account.

The account balance or value of an account may be reported in U.S. dollars or in the
currency in which the account is denominated. In the case of an account denominated
in a foreign currency, if the FFI elects to report account balances or values in the
currency in which the account is denominated, it is required to identify the currency in
which the account is reported. If the FFI elects to report such an account in U.S.
dollars, the FFI must calculate the account balance or value of the account by applying

4 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

 FATCA – User Guide - Withholding

a spot rate to translate such balance or value into the U.S. dollar. The spot rate must
be determined as of the last day of the calendar year or, if the account was closed
during such calendar year, the closure dates of the account.

In the case of a US account closed or transferred in its entirety by an account holder

during a calendar year, that is a financial account described under the relevant
sections, the FFI is required to report the account as closed or transferred along with
the amounts.

If a FFI retains copies of account statements with respect to holders of U.S. accounts
in the ordinary course of its business, such statements must be provided to the IRS
within 30 days of a request for such statement to the extent they have been retained
under such business procedures at the time of the request. AFFI is required to retain
for six years copies of account statements that summarize the activity in the account
for each calendar year for which the account is required to be reported under the
regulation and is required to provide such copies to the IRS within 30 days of a request
for such statements.

Reporting of recalcitrant account holders

A FFI, as part of its reporting responsibilities under its FFI agreement, shall report for
each calendar year, the following groups of account holders separately:

(A)The aggregate number and aggregate value of accounts held by recalcitrant

account holders at the end of the calendar year, other than accounts that have U.S.
indicia;

(B) The aggregate number and aggregate value of accounts held by recalcitrant
account holders at the end of the calendar year, other than accounts described above,
that do not have U.S. indicia ; and

(C) The aggregate number and aggregate value of accounts held by recalcitrant
account holders at the end of the calendar year that are dormant accounts.

Reporting Parameter
FATCA REPORTING PARAMETER is used to specify the high level parameters
governing the yearly reporting required under FATCA.

Since only specific clients need to be reported, the reportable statuses (based on
FATCA STATUS of the client in FATCA CUSTOMER SUPPLEMENTARY INFO) are
specified here. Besides, for certain clients (Passive NFFEs, Owner Documented FFIs),
the details of substantial and beneficial owners also need to be reported. The statuses
for which the ownership details need to be reported are also defined in FATCA
REPORTING PARAMETER.
Specified US Persons, Passive NFFEs, Owner Documented FFIs, Recalcitrant and
dormant statuses are identified based on the FATCA STATUS associated with each of
these status types. The reporting will vary based on the type above (for e.g.
substantial owner details need to be reported for Passive NFFEs, recalcitrant accounts
may be subject to pool reporting).

6 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

 FATCA – User Guide - Withholding

Besides, the parameter is also used to specify default address to be used for reporting
(CUSTOMER or DE ADDRESS), whether pool reporting is required for recalcitrant
clients, whether accounts are to be reported in account currency or USD and whether
accounts with balance less than USD 50000 needs to be reported or not.

Banks/financial institutions are expected to report annually with the first reporting due
in 2015 (for 2014 year end balance). As part of the Close of Business on the report
extraction date (as per the date specified in parameter – the last working day of the
calendar year), a record will be built in FATCA TAX BASE for all the reportable clients.

7 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

 FATCA – User Guide - Withholding

FATCA TAX BASE

FATCA TAX BASE is a live file (ID: Customer.YYYYMMDD) that will have all the data
that needs to be reported – Customer name, address, TIN/EIN/GIIN details, ownership
details (passive NFFEs, Owner documented FFIs), client type and account balance
details (in 2015, the 2014 year end account balance will be reported) including details
of accounts (and portfolios) in which the client is a joint owner.

In the case of Passive NFFEs with US substantial owners, the substantial owner details
will also be updated in the base.

8 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

 FATCA – User Guide - Withholding

All the accounts (except accounts that are specifically excluded, accounts/deposits,
portfolios with balance or value less than $50000 based on parameter setting) will be
included in the base file for the balance to be reported. The accounts that are jointly
held (identified based on settings in FATCA AGGREGATION PARAMETER and
relationships defined in CUSTOMER/ACCOUNT) will also be reported as the balance of
jointly held accounts need to be attributed to all the account holders.

POOL REPORTING
A FFI, as part of its reporting responsibilities under its FFI agreement, shall report for
each calendar year, the following groups of account holders separately:

(A)The aggregate number and aggregate value of accounts held by recalcitrant

account holders at the end of the calendar year, other than accounts that have U.S.
indicia;

(B) The aggregate number and aggregate value of accounts held by recalcitrant
account holders at the end of the calendar year, other than accounts described above,
that do not have U.S. indicia ; and

(C) The aggregate number and aggregate value of accounts held by recalcitrant
account holders at the end of the calendar year that are dormant accounts.
A consolidated record with the pool balance will be built for clients that are classified
as Recalcitrant or Dormant, provided pool reporting is required (RECAL REPORT field
in FATCA REPORTING PARAMETER).
The aggregated balance will be updated at year end based on the balances from
FATCA TAX BASE and updated in FATCA POOL BALANCE.

prohibited under domestic law without account holder consent.

 Group of Accounts for which Pooled Reporting is Permitted

Accounts of the following Pooled Reporting Types may be reported on a single
Form 8966: Recalcitrant account holders with U.S. indicia, Recalcitrant account
holders without U.S. indicia, Recalcitrant account holders that are U.S.
persons, Recalcitrant holders that are passive NFFEs, and Recalcitrant account

reported on a single Form 8966.
 Report Accounts Maintained at Any Time During Calendar Year
Report with respect to any of the above accounts maintained at any time during
each calendar year, including accounts that are identified as U.S. accounts by
the end of such calendar year pursuant to a change in circumstances during

 Account held by specified U.S. persons. Identification of the account holder
(name, address, and TIN), account number, account balance or value, certain
enumerated payments with respect to the account, and such other information
as may be required. See Regulations section 1.1471-4(d)(3)(ii).

 Account held by Passive NFFE. With respect to a passive NFFE that is a U.S.
owned foreign entity, on a separate Form 8966 for each a substantial U.S.
owner, identification of the NFFE and substantial U.S. owner (name, address,
and TIN), account number, account balance or value, certain enumerated
payments with respect to the account, and such other information as may be
required. See Regulations section 1.1471-4(d)(3)(iii).

13 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

 FATCA – User Guide - Withholding

 Account held by ODFFI. With respect to each account held by an ODFFI, on a

separate Form 8966 for each specified U.S. person that owns certain equity or
debt interests in the ODFFI in accordance with Regulations section 1.1471-
3(d)(6)(iv)(A)(1) and (2), identification of the ODFFI and specified U.S. person
(name, address, and TIN), account number, account balance or value, certain
enumerated payments with respect to the account, and such other information
as may be required.

 Account held by nonparticipating FFI. For calendar years 2015 and 2016, with
respect to each account held by a nonparticipating FFI (unless pooled
reporting is permitted), identification of the account holder, account number,
account balance or value, certain enumerated foreign reportable payments
(unless an election is made to report all payments made) with respect to the
account, and such other information as may be required.

 Pooled Reporting. For each group of accounts for which pooled reporting is
permitted, the aggregate number of accounts and the aggregate account
balance or value. See Regulations section 1.1471-4(d)(6).

 Amount and character. The amount and character of payments made with
respect to an account may be determined under the same principles that the
PFFI uses to report information on resident account holder to its domestic tax
authority. Thus, the amount and character of items of income required to be
reported need not be determined in accordance with U.S. federal tax principles.
If any type of payment is not reported to domestic tax authorities, such
amounts may be determined in the same manner as used for reporting to the
account holder. Otherwise, reporting must either be in accordance with U.S.
federal tax principles, or with any reasonable method consistent with the
accounting principles applied by the PFFI. IRS consent is required to change
such method, except that a change to rely on U.S. federal income tax principles
is automatically permitted. See Regulations section 1.1471-4(d)(4)(iv)(E).

Currency translation
Account balance or value, and any reportable payment, may be reported in U.S.
dollars or in the currency in which the account or payment is denominated. In the case
of an account, or payments denominated in multiple currencies, the PFFI may elect to
report the account balance or value, or payments, in a currency in which the account
or payments are denominated and is required to identify the currency, including the
applicable currency code, in which the account is reported.

Transitional Reporting for 2014 and 2015

 2014 calendar year. Report all the foregoing information, except for the
enumerated payments with respect to the account.
