Main information about the service
Based on the agreement between the Czech Republic and the United States of America to improve international tax compliance and with respect to the United States' information and reporting legislation commonly known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (‘FATCA’) Czech financial institutions are required to file a Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act Report.
Reporting Czech financial institutions are also obliged to register for FATCA purposes through the IRS registration system, and as part of the registration they will be assigned a ‘GIIN’ (Global Intermediary Identification Number). Reporting Czech financial institutions and non-reporting financial institutions that maintain a reportable account held by a reported U.S. person are required to apply for a GIIN.
A financial institution must apply for a GIIN so that it is obtained no later than the day before the day on which it is due to file a report with the tax authorities, which is due by 3 May of the calendar year in which the financial institution is due to file its first report. The registration number (GIIN) must be reported by the financial institution to the tax authorities.
