TO: ICI GLOBAL TAX COMMITTEE No. 14-13 RE: MATERIALS FOR ICI GLOBAL TAX COMMITTEE 2 JULY FATCA CALL
The ICI Global Tax Committee, as we informed you previously, [1] will hold a conference call on Tuesday, 2 July, at 10.00 (U.S. Eastern time) – 15.00 in London and 16.00 in Central Europe – to discuss the previously-distributed FATCA consultation document prepared by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”). The consultation document asks 19 questions regarding a proposal under consideration that effectively would expand FATCA by developing a multilateral model for exchanging automatically financial account (e.g., tax) information. The acronym for this process is AEOI (automatic exchange of information).
Attached for your consideration are draft responses to the 19 qustions. During the upcoming call, the Committee will develop further these draft responses. A final response will be submitted by ICI Global on 19 July.
If you would like to participate in the call, and have not RSVP’d already, please RSVP to my assistant (Ezella Wynn) at ewynn@ici.org. The call-in numbers will be 800-857-2255 for participants in the U.S. and 1-517-308-9126 for participants outside of the U.S. The passcode for all participants will be 55481.
Please feel free to send suggested comments to me at lawson@ici.org. You also may reach me at 1-202-326-5832. Thank you.
