Another 6,750 financial institutions have joined Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) over the past month.
Almost 154,000 organisations from 225 financial centres are now listed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as complying with the law.
FATCA requires financial institutions outside the US to register with the IRS and to make annual reports about accounts and investments controlled by American taxpayers.
The list reveals 41% of the financial organisations registered come from the UK or four British Overseas Territories or Possessions.
Britain dominates FATCA listings
The Cayman Islands has the most registrations – just tipping 28,000.
The UK is next with 22,000.
Also in the top 10 FATCA registration listings are the British Virgin Islands (4,900), Guernsey (4,650) and Jersey (4,200).
Out of the listings, only the UK and Cayman Islands have more than 10,000 registrations.
Another 25 countries have more than 1,000 entries; an additional 57 have more than 100 and 53 have between 10 and 99. This leaves 88 jurisdictions with single figure listings.
The next FATCA list is due on February 15, 2015.
