Barclays & FATCA: U.S. Account Holders Reported to the IRS

Barclays & FATCA: U.S. Account Holders Reported to the IRS

Barclays & FATCA: Barclay’s Bank is primarily located in the United Kingdom (UK) and actively reports account holder information to the IRS in accordance with FATCA. It is one of the largest banks, with several million customers. Several thousands of Barclay’s customers are U.S. Persons, and subject to FATCA Reporting to the IRS. The Internal Revenue Service has been aggressively enforcing foreign accounts compliance involving offshore accounts, assets. and investments. And. with Barclay’s actively reporting account holder information to the IRS, it is very important to get into (or remain) in compliance. If you are out of compliance, you may consider FBAR Amnesty and FATCA Amnesty programs, collectively referred to as voluntary disclosure.

Barclays & FATCA

In recent months, Barclay’s has been sending its customers FATCA letters, otherwise known as a CRS (Common Reporting Standard) letter or KYC (Know Your Customer).

If you received this type of notice, the clock is already clicking, and you should consider speaking with a specialist to get yourself into compliance before it is too late.
