Common International Tax Issues

FBAR & FATCA Reporting Regulations

Recently, the U.S. Government has begun enforcing complex laws and regulations that require Washington D.C. area residents with offshore assets to follow strict tax reporting guidelines.  The 2 most notable programs are FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and FBAR (Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) regulations, which, in layman's terms, require U.S. residents with offshore investments (and their respective Foreign Financial Institution) to provide detailed reports of their foreign investment values and earnings.  Foreign assets that are subject to FATCA and FBAR regulations include bank accounts, trusts, mutual funds, life insurance, and real estate commodities. 

The requirements of these programs are relatively new and frequently evolving, making it more difficult for local residents with offshore investments to stay on track with the reporting guidelines. If you are late filing, file improperly, or fail to file your FBAR and FATCA documentation, you are immediately exposed to the strict penalties mandated by the U.S. Government:

• Substantial financial penalties deducted from your assets or bank account (based on percentage of asset values, and longevity of delinquency).
• Serious criminal charges for international tax delinquency identified as on purpose, or cases that go un-settled for an extended period of time.

Similar to filing State or Federal taxes, errors or delinquency with your FBAR or FATCA reporting is still subject to penalties, whether your delinquency is purposeful or not.  Our international tax services include a wide range of international tax settlements and consulting strategies for Washington D.C., Virginia, and Maryland residents with FBAR/FATCA problems, with a sole purpose of properly correcting errors and maintaining your FBAR and FATCA compliance for the life of your international assets.
