What is FATCA reporting?
FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) reporting refers to the requirement imposed by the United States government on certain individuals and entities to report their financial accounts held outside of the United States. FATCA was enacted to combat tax evasion by U.S. taxpayers who hold assets in offshore accounts.
Under FATCA, U.S. taxpayers, including individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts, and estates, are required to report their foreign financial accounts if the aggregate value of those accounts exceeds certain thresholds. Additionally, foreign financial institutions (FFIs) are required to report information about financial accounts held by U.S. taxpayers to the IRS, or else face withholding taxes on certain U.S. source payments.
FATCA NIL reporting
Luxembourg Reporting Financial Institutions are required to communicate a zero value message (ZeroReporting) when they do not have Reportable Accounts.
We can provide cost efficient solution to produce your Zero reporting including the filing to the ACD.
Which FATCA account holders should be reported?
What should be reported?
- Financial Institution Information: This includes the name, address, and tax identification number of the financial institution holding the account.
- Account Holder Information: This includes the name, address, tax identification number (TIN), date of birth, and country of tax residence of the account holder.
- Account Information: This includes the account number, type of account, and the balance or value of the account.

What is the consequence of incorrect or delayed submission of Fatca reports?
In the event of either a complete failure to submit a report or a delayed filing of a NIL return, these institutions may be held accountable for a fixed fine of EUR 10,000. However, Luxembourg reporting financial institutions have the opportunity to present justifications, such as a change in legal status, to the ACD before this fixed fine is enforced.
Additionally, these reporting financial institutions could face fines of up to EUR 250,000 if, following an audit by the ACD, it is determined that they have not fulfilled their obligations as required.
