Riyadh, Saturday 29th, October 2011

On March 18, 2010, President Obama signed the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) into law. This legislation, enacted to prevent offshore tax abuses by U.S. persons.

Impacted entities will be required to adhere to complex customer identification and due diligence requirements and report information regarding account holders that are specified U.S. persons or U.S. owned entities. Due to the complex nature of the rules and the fact that they are still evolving, it is reasonable to assume that businesses will have many questions that arise between now and the implementation date.

The seminar will be conducted by KPMG’s International tax team in coordination with local member firm partners.
