Financial institutions worldwide are still signing up to show that they meet the requirements of the US Foreign account Tax Compliance Act (FACTA).
The act demands banks, investment funds and other financial firms outside the USA should report the details of any accounts they hold for US American taxpayers.
If the taxpayers are US resident, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) information about any accounts with a balance of more than $50,000. If the account holder is an expat, the limit rises to accounts with balances of more than $200,000.
According to the US Treasury, which keeps a database of FATCA compliant financial institutions, the number on the database is now 210,057 firms worldwide – up by 4,053 from last month.
The two financial centres with the most registrations are the Cayman Islands and Britain.
The Caymans added 529 more financial institutions to bring the number of registrations there to 38,978, while the number increased by 175 to 26,985 in Britain.
No other country has more than 10,000 registrations.
From 228 financial centres listed, only 39 have more than 1,000 financial institutions registered under FATCA, another 56 have between 100 and 1,000 registrations; 92 between 10 and 100 registrations and 41 have less than 10.
The next FATCA list is due for publication by the IRS on October 1, 2016.
