ReplyDeleteI doubt it! Better buy a plane ticket.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think the odds are that they do something akin to the 86 reforms next year or do you think it is more likely they just try to patch things up this year and forget about it afterwards. My opinion is they have to do something drastic but the politics would seem to shift things more towards small ball in all likelihood.
ReplyDeleteThey will patch, for sure. Hard to win the next election unless you (1) give away candy now (tax breaks at Christmas in the form of AMT relief) and (2) save some candy to give away later. Don't expect anything like an 86 reform.
ReplyDeleteMy My isn't Susan Morse of UC Hastings a HUGE supporter of FATCA and FATCA IGA. Wow this will sure be an interesting conference. I think all of her recent papers are about how great FATCA is and other countries should just basically do what Uncle Sam wants.
