7 Registration process and IRS Form 8957 On April 2, 2014, the IRS issued Announcement The registration deadline has subsequently been extended a few times this year. The notice also clarified jurisdictions without IGA agreements in place, but currently have agreed in substance with the IRS, and are now considered as having an IGA agreement. A reporting FFI organized within a MODEL I or II IGA is not required to sign an FFI Agreement, but is required to register with the IRS and obtain a Global Intermediary Identification Number or GIIN. IRS Notice addresses the draft FFI Agreement required by participating FFIs established in non-iga countries. We recommend completing the FFI Registration process regardless of CRA reporting vs. non-reporting status. Many of our clients, including brokers dealers, Portfolio Managers, and Custodians have already registered and obtained their respective GIIN numbers through the IRS Portal.
8 Registration process and IRS Form 8957 In Brief The IRS announced the opening of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act FATCA Registration Portal on Aug 19th, The registration portal will allow financial institutions (FI s) to register and obtain a Global intermediary Identification number (GIIN). The preliminary registration period lasts until December 31st, 2013 after which final submissions to the IRS can begin as early as January 1st, The latest release included a 75-page User Guide providing detailed instructions for completing the online registration process. Tips for logging into the system are also noted. The IRS has also released Form 8957 including instructions. Entities Eligible to Register The registration portal should be used by financial institutions to register itself as either a participating foreign financial institution (PFFI), Registered-Deemed Compliant FFI (RDCFFI), a limited FFI, or Sponsoring Entity. MODEL I, II IRS FATCA update
9 Registration process and IRS Form 8957 Lead FI s and EAG Relationships Clarified A lead FI includes a U.S. Financial Institution, FFI, or compliance FI that will agree to execute FATCA registration for each of its member financial institutions. A Compliance FI is a lead FI that agrees to establish and maintain a consolidated compliance program, as well as perform a consolidated periodic review Creating an Online FATCA Account A FATCA account can be a single, lead, or sponsoring entity. The FI must create an access code password along with questions in case the access code is lost. The online system will provide a six-character FATCA ID to be used in conjunction upon receipt of the 19-character code GIIN number. Notice of Registration Acceptance and GIIN Composition FFI registration completed by April 25, 2014 will receive a unique GIIN number posted online as early as June 2, This IRS website will be updated on a monthly basis. An FFI will use its GIIN to identify itself to withholding agents and other counterparties for FATCA reporting. In Summary The FATCA registration website has been setup to streamline the registration process where financial institutions register through a secure online portal with around the clock availability. Registration occurs in one place, and ultimately allows for effective and efficient communication with the IRS on future communications to PFFI s.

27 III. Completing IRS Forms and Getting Them Right!
28 Purpose of IRS Forms W-8 and W-9 Document status for FATCA purposes (Chapter 4) - Payees can avoid FATCA withholding by submitting a withholding certificate to a withholding agent (generally, the U.S. payor) that documents their FATCA-compliant status or otherwise shows that they are exempt from FATCA withholding. - FFIs may request withholding certificates (or, in IGA jurisdictions, self-certifications) from account holders to document the account holders FATCA status pursuant to FATCA due diligence requirements. Document status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, including claiming treaty benefits - Non-U.S. individuals and corporations generally are subject to a 30% withholding tax on U.S.- source interest, dividends, and other fixed and determinable annual or periodical income, unless they claim a reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding (on an applicable IRS Form W-8) pursuant to an income tax treaty with the United States.
29 Types of IRS Forms IRS Form W-9 U.S. person, including an individual or entity. IRS Form W-8BEN Non-U.S. individual who is the beneficial owner of the payment. This form must be used to claim treaty benefits. IRS Form W-8BEN-E Non-U.S. corporation, trust (other than a simple or grantor trust), or estate who is the beneficial owner of the payment. This form must be used to claim treaty benefits. IRS Form W-8EXP Generally, non-u.s. governmental entities that are the beneficial owner of the payment and that are claiming a reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding tax. IRS Form W-8IMY Non-U.S. intermediaries, partnerships, and simple and grantor trusts. Note that nonwithholding partnerships and trusts and nonqualified intermediaries generally must attach withholding certificates for the underlying owners as well as a withholding statement allocating the payment to such owners. Qualified intermediaries also may need to attach certain documentation. IRS Form W-8ECI Non-U.S. person, including an individual or entity, who is the beneficial owner of a payment that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business ( effectively connected income or ECI ). With respect to ECI, generally use this form instead of IRS Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8EXP, and W-8IMY.
30 Special Rules for Wholly-Owned Disregarded Entities If a wholly-owned entity is treated as disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the owner of the entity generally should complete and provide its applicable IRS Form W-8 or W-9.
31 How To Complete IRS Form W-8BEN-E: Reporting Canadian FFIs Canadian FFIs that do not qualify for FATCA exemption are reporting Model 1 FFIs. Such FFIs are required to register with the IRS and obtain a Global Intermediary Identification Number ( GIIN ) by January 1, IRS Form W-8BEN-E - In Part I.5 ( FATCA Status ), check the box entitled Reporting Model 1 FFI. - In Part 1.9a ( GIIN ), enter the FFI s GIIN once the FFI receives it from the IRS. If, as of January 1, 2015, the FFI is in the process of registering with the IRS as a reporting Model 1 FFI but has not yet received a GIIN, write applied for. The withholding agent requesting the form from the FFI must receive the FFI s GIIN, and verify it on the list of GIINs published monthly by the IRS, within 90 days.
32 FFIs with Local Client Base How To Complete IRS Form W-8BEN-E: Nonreporting Canadian FFIs - A Canadian FFI can qualify as an FFI with a local client base under the Canadian IGA if 98% of the value of its financial accounts are held by Canadians; it does not solicit customers outside of Canada; and it satisfies certain other requirements. - IRS Form W-8BEN-E In Part I.5 ( FATCA Status ), check the box entitled Nonreporting IGA FFI. Skip Part I.9a ( GIIN ). Complete Part XII ( Nonreporting IGA FFI ) as follows: I certify that the entity identified in Part I: (i) meets the requirements to be considered a nonreporting financial institution pursuant to an applicable IGA between the United States and Canada, (ii) is treated as a financial institution with a local client base under the provisions of the applicable IGA; and (iii) if you are an FFI treated as a registered deemed-compliant under an applicable Model 2 IGA, provide your GIIN: NA.
33 Sponsored Investment Entities - Registration requirements How To Complete IRS Form W-8BEN-E: Nonreporting Canadian FFIs - The sponsoring entity must register with the IRS and obtain a GIIN. Thus, a sponsoring entity that is a participating FFI or reporting Model 1 or Model 2 FFI will have to obtain two GIINs: (i) one GIIN as a participating FFI or reporting Model 1 or Model2 FFI; and (ii) a second GIIN as a sponsoring entity. - If the sponsoring entity identifies U.S. reportable accounts with respect to the sponsored entity, it must register the sponsored entity with the IRS and obtain a GIIN for the sponsored entity by the later of December 31, 2015 and the date that is 90 days after such a U.S. reportable account is first identified. - Certain closely-held Canadian investment entities may be able to qualify as a sponsored, closely-held investment vehicle. The primary advantage of this type of sponsored entity is that it never needs to be registered with the IRS. Only the sponsoring entity is required to so register.
34 How To Complete IRS Form W-8BEN-E: Nonreporting Canadian FFIs Sponsored Investment Entities (cont.) - IRS Form W-8BEN-E In Part I.5 ( FATCA Status ), check the box entitled Nonreporting IGA FFI. Skip Part I.9a ( GIIN ). Complete Part XII ( Nonreporting IGA FFI ) as follows: I certify that the entity identified in Part I: (i) meets the requirements to be considered a nonreporting financial institution pursuant to an applicable IGA between the United States and Canada, (ii) is treated as a sponsored investment entity / sponsored, closely-held investment vehicle under the provisions of the applicable IGA; and (iii) if you are an FFI treated as a registered deemedcompliant under an applicable Model 2 IGA, provide your GIIN: NA. Instructions to the form note that a sponsored FFI currently is not required to provide a GIIN in Part XII, but that a future version of the form may require a GIIN.
35 Investment Advisors/Managers How To Complete IRS Form W-8BEN-E: Nonreporting Canadian FFIs - Under current FATCA Treasury Regulations, certain investment advisors/managers are exempt from FATCA as certified deemed-compliant FFIs. This exemption does not currently apply to Canadian FFIs. - If the Canadian IGA eventually incorporates the exemption for investment advisors/managers, complete IRS Form W-8BEN-E as follows: In Part I.5 ( FATCA Status ), check the box entitled Nonreporting IGA FFI. Skip Part I.9a ( GIIN ). Complete Part XII ( Nonreporting IGA FFI ) as follows: I certify that the entity identified in Part I: (i) meets the requirements to be considered a nonreporting financial institution pursuant to an applicable IGA between the United States and Canada, (ii) is treated as an investment advisor/manager under the provisions of the applicable IGA; and (iii) if you are an FFI treated as a registered deemed-compliant under an applicable Model 2 IGA, provide your GIIN: NA.

48 Special Circumstances Account closures Where specified U.S. person closes an account in the year, the account balance should be reported as at time the Reporting FI received instructions to close the account.

49 Special Circumstances Change in account status All reporting is based on status of the account holder as of year-end (or account closure) If account holder ceases to be a specified U.S. person prior to the end of the year, the account generally ceases to be a reportable account In the case of account closures, account status is determined based on the status of the account holder at the time of closure 49
