Calling all American expats!

Do you know all you should about FATCA?

Did you know that Americans are required to report their financial accounts held outside of the United States?

Are you aware that the governments of Malta and the US have agreed to exchange information in order to enforce this obligation?

Do you know how the law actually works in practice? Or how it may or may not relate to you individually?

Is it true that if Americans abroad may prosecuted by the IRS for tax fraud and other civil and criminal charges?

What are the “streamlined” filing procedures for non-resident US taxpayers issued in 2014?

Can you just renounce your US passport?

In view of the facts that Malta has already signed the FATCA agreement in 2013, and that reporting by Maltese financial institutions will begin in 2015, it is important for any US taxpayers residing in Malta or with financial accounts in Malta to act fast in order to come into compliance.


Find out the answers to the above and more at Malta’s first FATCA information event hosted by Athena International Ltd. Industry and government experts will explain how the legislation works in practice and its implications.
