More than half the foreign financial institutions on the IRS FATCA reporting list come from just six countries.
Out of the 294,173 registered institutions, 157,176 (53%) come from the six countries –
- Cayman Islands – 52,263 registrations (17% of the total)
- UK – 30,057 (10%)
- Brazil – 20,664 (7%)
- Japan – 20,007 (7%)
- Luxembourg (4%)
- British Virgin Islands – 10,913 (4%)
- Canada – 10,242 (3%)
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FACTA) demands foreign financial institutions report details of accounts controlled by US taxpayers to the IRS each year. The IRS compares the data with tax filings.
