The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is United States law which came into effect in New Zealand in July 2014. It has far-reaching implications for the way that New Zealand lawyers conduct their practices.

Topics covered will include:

  • An introduction to FATCA and a glimpse of the future of intergovernmental information-sharing
  • An overview of the Intergovernmental Agreement between the United States and New Zealand Governments in relation to FATCA
  • The implications for law firms, their trust accounts and their nominee companies
  • Implications for family trusts
  • Compliance requirements and consequences of non-compliance
  • Selected practical issues.

Learning objectives

After completing this module you will be able to:
