Right now if you look at W&M website they are getting "swamped" with anti FATCA/FBAR comment letters addressed to the International Working Group. The other problem is there is a rumor out there that the IGA countries(Canada included) won't sign until Camp makes some type of commitment to FATCA reciprocity. No commitment from Camp no IGA. Supposedly Treasury is going to ask Camp and Ways and Means the week of April 8th to give the IRS authority to impose the same FATCA requirements on US banks as per the IGAs. <br /><br />The real astonishing thing is the lack of involvement from Treasury/IRS and the pro FATCA tax profs. The anti FATCA comments are starting to get rather out of hand in numbers. Can the IRS put the anti FATCA genie back in the bottle.<br /><br />http://waysandmeans.house.gov/taxreform/workinggroups.htm<br /><br />Some of the big guns like the American Petroleum Industry are starting to put in their comments.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894651289037073128noreply@blogger.com
