Default Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FACTA)

Info for Americans who own land in Mexico. US taxpayers comply with this new law by filing IRS Form 8938. Link to IRS From 8938.
------------------------

Intercambio de información que incluye nombres de usuarios, cuentas bancarias y datos de inversiones y propiedades, será la que se estará llevando a cabo entre México y Estados Unidos, a través de la Ley de Cumplimiento Fiscal de Cuentas Extranjeras (Fatca, por sus siglas en inglés), que fue aprobada a finales del 2012, y que desde enero del 2013, instituciones financieras de ambos países han comenzado a reunir esta información.

De acuerdo a Carlos Ibarra Aguiar, Presidente del Colegio de Contadores Públicos de Ensenada, durante el 2013, las instituciones financieras deberán solicitar a todos los usuarios, el llenado de un formato en el que rindan una declaración sobre sus cuentas bancarias, así como de sus propiedades, específicamente a aquellos ciudadanos mexicanos con cuentas en Estados Unidos, o viceversa.

Precisó que, a partir del 1 de enero del 2014, ambos países iniciarán con el intercambio de información, que tiene como objetivo eliminar la evasión fiscal. “En el caso de Estados Unidos, las sanciones pueden ir de diez hasta 60 mil dólares, para quienes no lleven a cabo las declaraciones, sobre todo quienes tengan inversiones de hasta 75 mil dólares”, refirió.

Tras exhortar a los ciudadanos tanto mexicanos como americanos, a llevar a cabo sus declaraciones durante el 2013 para evitar alguna sanción, Ibarra Aguiar mencionó que en el 2016, Estados Unidos y México llevarán a cabo una reunión, en la que se atenderán los avances de esta Ley, y será después de esa revisión, cuando se definirá si el tratado continúa o termina.

An interchange of information which includes user names, bank accounts and investment and property data will be carried out between Mexico and the United States through the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FACTA), which was approved at the end of 2012, and starting in January 2013, financial institutions in both countries have started to gather this information.

According to Carlos Ibarra Aguiar, president of the College of Public Accountants of Ensenada, during 2013 the financial institutions will be asking all their users to fill in a declaration on their bank accounts, as well as their properties, specifically for those Mexican citizens with accounts in the United States, or vice versa.

He said that commencing January 1, 2014, both countries will initiate an interchange of information, with the objective of eliminating tax evasion. "In the case of the United States, the sanctions can be between $10,000 and $60,000 for those do not file the declarations, especially for those who have investments of up to $75,000," he said.

After urging citizens, Mexicans and Americans, to prepare their declarations during 2013 to avoid any penalties, Ibarra Aguiar said that in 2016 the United States and Mexico will have a meeting to review the progress of this Law, and then after the review it will be determined if the treaty will continue or terminate.
