Research into FATCA – accounts denied

by | Oct 3, 2011 | Articles

A while ago I wrote about a call I had from a financial planner in New Zealand whose client had allegedly been denied an account and said I would research these allegations further.

I have been doing some research on FATCA today as I write an update on this for the American Chamber of Commerce in New Zealand.

There is compelling evidence of this occurring in other countries to a much greater extent than the ripples that are occurring in New Zealand.

My observation is that momentum is gaining particularly in the wake of the latest IRS pronouncements issued in July 2011. There appears to have been a hive of activity by various stakeholders in the past few months.

I am completing the article this week which includes an update from both sides – regulatory and also the worldwide reaction including, of note, the reaction from the Canadian government.

Gina and the folks at NZ US Tax Specialists were very quick to answer a question I had on the NZ tax treatment of US Military pensions, a fairly obscure area of tax law. They're great to work with.

Gina helped us prepare our US tax returns after we moved to NZ during a very busy time. We had no idea what was required as US citizens living abroad, but Gina was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. The work was affordable and well done. We had a great experience and hope to use NZ US Tax Specialists again.

If you're a US expat and need to file a US tax return, then look no further! Gina and her team at NZ US Tax Specialists does outstanding, professional work. I had to amend my US tax return, as I didn't know I had to file a form. Gina got that done, but they also found I'd made an error, and they fixed that for me as well, keeping me in good standing with the IRS. I'm definitely returning next year to get their assistance again.

I have been working with Gina since 2014, when I needed US Tax advice, being both a New Zealand and United States citizen. Over the eight years that we have been working together, I have found Gina to be extremely knowledgeable about the US tax system and the New Zealand IRD. She is quickly able to provide definitive answers to my US tax questions, via her extensive contacts in the US tax department.Gina is always prompt in responding to my email and phone conversation questions and her professionalism has inspired my confidence in her many times over.She has guided me through my annual tax return filing with integrity and honesty and I fully trust her to get the job done well each year.
