INTRODUCTION As corporations continue to engage in international commerce, they must remain ever cognizant of the myriad tax laws with which they must comply. In response to the recession that was sparked by the global financial crisis of 2007-08, the United States implemented the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act of 2010. (1) Included in this legislation is a new tax scheme to capture unpaid overseas tax. (2) Known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), this law requires foreign financial institutions to either provide extensive client documentation and reporting to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or withhold a large percentage of each payment these financial institutions make to clients covered by FATCA. (3) While this law imposes new requirements on many foreign corporations, it poses particular issues for foreign insurance companies. (4) This Note examines the influence FATCA will have on foreign insurance companies. Specifically, Part II of this Note introduces FATCA, reviews the ineffectiveness of prior U.S. laws to capture duly owed offshore taxes, and discusses how FATCA aims to overcome the shortcomings of prior laws. It also details clarifications to FATCA that the IRS has provided. Next, Part III analyzes the costs of FATCA on foreign corporations and provides various means by which foreign corporations can comply with the law. Part III continues by introducing how foreign insurance companies can satisfy FATCA's requirements. It also examines Internal Revenue Code Section 953(d), a unique statutory alternative to FATCA compliance that is available solely to foreign insurance companies. Finally, Part IV recommends against this statutory alternative for most foreign insurance companies based on the limited scope of the alternative and the countless expenditures the alternative requires. II. BACKGROUND On March 18, 2010, Congress enacted the HIRE Act of 2010. (5) Totaling $17.5 billion in tax reductions and subsidies, the HIRE Act created lucrative hiring incentives for employers in an effort to combat the national decline in employment stemming from the recent economic downturn. (6) One major incentive the Act created is a $13 billion Hire Now Tax Cut, which provided payroll tax breaks for employers that hired new employees. (7) The Act also offered tax credits for employers that continued to employ new hires for a period of one year. (8) In addition to providing employment tax breaks, the HIRE Act also sought to improve national employment figures by allowing small businesses to take additional one-time write-offs on equipment investments and by modifying municipal bonds to induce investment in education. (9) The HIRE Act partially offsets the expenses of its tax breaks by generating revenue from new offshore tax regulations. (10) This portion of the HIRE Act is known as FATCA. (11) This Part discusses FATCA as a response to previous statutory shortcomings and introduces Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commentary to provide clarity to this far-reaching Act. A. FATCA FATCA is intended to address tax evasion committed through the use of foreign accounts and continues President Obama's ongoing battle against foreign tax avoidance. …" @default.
