In conjunction with the updated registration timeline below the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), Rothstein Kass (http://www.rkco.com), a top national expert services firm, right now announced the publication of the FATCA Guide for Option Investment Fund Managers. FATCA normally will require offshore investment funds and other foreign economic institutions to register with the IRS and to recognize and report information relating to their U.S. investors. The guide offers a summary of key points and due dates, as effectively as insights to aid fund managers navigate the FATCA compliance and registration method.

The interplay between the final FATCA regulations and intergovernmental agreements is complex and still unfolding. Its important for fund managers to educate themselves ahead of rushing to register, mentioned Dan Byrne, Tax Principal. Whilst the IRS FATCA registration portal will open soon, there are nonetheless some essential pieces of FATCA guidance which remain outstanding. We count on that the Cayman Islands intergovernmental agreement, which was just initialed earlier this week, will be released within the coming months and well in advance of the April 25, 2014 initial registration deadline. In the meantime, we hope this guide will be a helpful resource for managers as they prepare for the registration process, and aim to ensure their funds obtain FATCA compliance as properly and efficiently as possible.

Observation notes all through the guide give in-depth evaluation derived from Rothstein Kass sector-major knowledge and highlight ongoing processes that will impact adherence to FATCA specifications. These notes include details on pending intergovernmental agreements between foreign countries and the United States, which will allow tax details reported beneath the nearby governments of these nations to be automatically exchanged with the IRS.

Our aim is to present fund managers with all the background they require to make suitable choices for themselves and for their investors, said Byrne. The FATCA Guide and the guidance incorporated inside are worthwhile tools when generating these options.
