FATCA overview
Commercial Banking – mainland China
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is a new piece of legislation by the United States Department of Treasury and the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to counter tax evasion in the US. HSBC is committed to becoming fully FATCA-compliant in all countries where we operate in accordance with the legislative timeline.
In order to establish your tax status, we need to obtain certain documents. These documents are HSBC declarations and /or U.S. tax forms that will enable you to declare and confirm your tax status to us for the purposes of FATCA. We also need your formation documents, for example certificate of incorporation or similar document confirming your place of incorporation.
Please send the completed document to your Relationship Manager or hand them in to your local branch. Should you have problems printing the form(s) you need, please contact your local branch.
Please read the information carefully and select the document that is appropriate to your company. If you are unsure, you should seek advice from a tax advisor. HSBC cannot provide tax advice.
