Notice 2013-69, released on October 29, 2013, is the latest effort by the US Treasury Department to provide guidance to US and foreign entities that will be subject to the new reporting and withholding rules imposed by the so-called Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or “FATCA.” For information on previous guidance issued by the US Treasury Department and background on FATCA, please see our previous alerts titled US Government Announces 6-Month Delay in Certain FATCA Rules and US Issues Final FATCA Regulations.
Notice 2013-69 basically does three things:
- publishes the draft Foreign Financial Institution (“FFI”) agreement with which participating FFIs and Model 2 FFIs must comply,
- provides updated information about the responsibilities of participating FFIs and Reporting Model 2 FFIs and the FATCA registration process, and
- announces the intent to make limited changes to the recently issued FATCA regulations and to other reporting regulations to coordinate with FATCA reporting.
