The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (''FATCA'') covers all U.S. Dollar capital transactions irrespective of whether there is a U.S. Person involved or not. Individual practicality is critical everywhere a USA person or a non-US person, is investing in anything , what so ever, that is denominated in U.S. Dollars whether it is real estate, an investment fund, instrument, a share, private equity, bank account and so on, anywhere in the world, is subject to FATCA.

So, both the individual and institutional level is problematic and therefore means whether a US person or if one is a US person and the other a non-US person on even very straight forward US dollar investment between non-US persons or any USD capital dealing they need to declare under FATCA rules, even at 3rd or 4th hand, if there are any US person connections.

As a result, a FATCA exemption is a valid road for U.S. persons who are investing in or holding assets overseas and also for non-U.S. persons who are transferring USD capital. That this specific pension fund is distinct being exempted from FATCA and is written in International Government Agreements means it can also handle other jurisdictions and is a good way to handle investing and protecting wealth in common, civil and sharia statue law.

The Foreign Account tax Compliance Act (''FATCA'') aims to combat tax evasion by U.S. Persons using foreign accounts. It requires any U.S. person with foreign accounts and Non-U.S. persons who are dealing in U.S. Dollars or have a U.S. person beneficiary to be compliant with FATCA requirements. It requires financial intermediaries outside the U.S. to pass information about their U.S. customers to the U.S. tax authorities, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or to their local tax authorities. Failure to meet these reporting obligations would result in a 30% withholding tax on the financial institutions. To comply the documentary evidence issued by the US Internal Revenue Service must contain sufficient information to support your FATCA status. Only legal entities which are FATCA compliant can deal in USD.

Under FATCA, certain U.S. taxpayers holding financial assets outside the United States must report those assets to the IRS. In addition, FATCA will also require foreign financial institutions ("FFIs") to report directly to the IRS certain information about financial accounts held by U.S. taxpayers, or by foreign entities in which U.S. taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest. To properly comply with these new reporting requirements "participating" FFI will be obligated to:

1. undertake certain identification and due diligence procedures with respect to its accountholders;
2. report annually to the IRS on its accountholders who are U.S. persons or foreign entities with substantial U.S. ownership; and
3. withhold and pay over to the IRS 30-percent of any payments of U.S. source income, as well as gross proceeds from the sale of securities that generate U.S. source income, made to (a) non-participating FFIs, (b) individual accountholders failing to provide sufficient information to determine whether or not they are a U.S. person, or (c) foreign entity accountholders failing to provide sufficient information about the identity of its substantial U.S. owners.

Problems with an International or Foreign Trust (Offshore Asset Protection Trust)

• Foreign Trusts are irrevocable
• You must give up control of your assets in a Foreign Trust to a third-party trustee, who makes money by charging fees (typically a percentage charge based on the value of your assets
• A Trustee is not free from the risk of being sued; law suits can take on its own life with claims, counter-claims, new parties joined, summons, discovery, dispositions, interrogatories and endless court appearances
• Foreign structures (e.g. LLCs, IBCs, Foreign Trusts, Foreign Limited Partnerships, Private Placement Life Insurance and Private Placement Variable Annuities, PPLI & PPVA respectively) each have many disclosure requirements including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) as well as tax compliance requirements
• There are additional IRS filing requirements to report a structure in a compliant fashion, which can be complicated and cumbersome
• There are IRS requirements for Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFIC) to pay taxes on any income from interest, dividend and capital gains realized within the company; an IBC, foreign IBC and some trusts can be considered to be a PFIC
• The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) has decreased U.S. Person beneficiary access to foreign financial accounts, thereby limiting the possibility of a person gaining access to assets held in a foreign bank or brokerage account; moreover, Foreign Financial Institutions (FFI) are bound by U.S. FATCA rules to disclose beneficial ownership of all foreign accounts held by U.S. Persons for purposes of tax withholding
• There are troubling cases where settlers of an Foreign Trust have actually gone to jail for contempt of court when the foreign trustee refused to release assets and settle a US court claim
• There is much consternation with Offshore Trusts, given its tainted criminal history and portrayal in the mainstream media
