FATCA
What is FATCA?
Like most OECD countries, Belgium and the United States signed an Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA") in which the Belgian Federal Financial Authority ("Service Public Federal Finances") has to communicate the information referred in FATCA to the relevant US authorities, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").
Failure to report on US account holders can result in a 30% fine on all US income.
