Some countries have enacted regulations with extraterritorial effects as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which establishes the sharing of information protected by bank secrecy which constitutes fundamental rights pursuant to the terms of the Brazilian Constitution. The proposal of the present work is to conduct an analysis of the Brazilian judicial system vis a vis the obligations established by the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) in order to explore possible conflicts between the American regulation and the Brazilian laws with emphasis in the review of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Brazilian Constitution. In the present work the topics covered are related to the historic and conceptual evolution of the bank secrecy and its insertion in the Brazilian law, the concept of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and brief analysis of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement (IGA) executed between Brazil and the United States of America, considerations on individual rights and guarantees protected by the Brazilian regulation and conclusion about the treatment of bank secrecy in Brazil / Em face da globalização nos vemos diante de uma nova realidade de interconexões globais que atuam como força motriz transformadora das relações jurídicas internacionais. Alguns países têm promulgado regulamentações com alcance extraterritorial, como no caso do Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), que determina o compartilhamento de informações protegidas por sigilo bancário que constituem direito fundamental nos termos da Constituição Federal brasileira de 1988. A proposta do presente trabalho é realizar uma análise do sistema jurídico brasileiro vis-à-vis as obrigações estabelecidas pelo Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) de forma a abordar possíveis confrontos entre esta regulamentação americana e as leis brasileiras, com ênfase na análise dos direitos fundamentais assegurados pela Constituição Federal de 1988. Na presente dissertação são abordados temas referentes a evolução histórica e conceitual do sigilo bancário e sua inserção no direito brasileiro, conceituação jurídica do Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) e breve análise do Acordo de Cooperação Intergovernamental (IGA) firmado entre o Brasil e os Estados Unidos da América, considerações acerca os direitos e garantias individuais tutelados pela regulamentação brasileira e conclusão acerca do tratamento do sigilo bancário no Brasil

Tax evasion has been happening for decades, but after the highly publicized cases with two foreign banks, LGT and UBS, the United States (US) is cracking down on tax evaders. The latest addition to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)’s repertoire of enforcement tools is the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, otherwise known as FATCA. The Act was enacted to incentivize tax information release by foreign financial institutions (FFIs) who would otherwise face a 30% withholding tax on any US source income. The question was whether or not the design of the Act and its implementation successfully met this goal. This paper explores the history leading up to FATCA’s creation, beginning from the basic data underlying tax evasion. With the US losing approximately $100 billion a year of tax revenue, the IRS is keen on reducing the money flow out of the US. It will dig deeper into the facts of the LGT and UBS cases which led to Congress’s realization that their other enforcement mechanisms were not sufficient and describe FATCA’s unintended impact. Through researching articles on the predicted impact of FATCA, surveys of FFIs, testimonials from US citizens, this paper will explain how FATCA has unfortunately detrimentally impacted FFIs and US citizens living abroad.

This Diploma thesis focuses on the alignment of regulatory processes to support corporate performance management in the selected retail company. The main objective is the preparation of process maps that serve as a basis for the implementation of a global standard for automatic exchange of financial account information, developed by the OECD, also called as Common Reporting Standard. Additionally, the partial objectives include analysis of existing forms of content-related processes, creating a methodological support to the created processes and the theoretical concepts of regulatory requirements. The theoretical part focuses on the introduction of concepts related to the corporate management performance and also on theory about specific regulatory regulation used. In the practical part is an analysis of the company through the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), followed by the actual design and process description. The main contribution of the Diploma thesis was to perform process optimization, along with some improvements during the creation of these processes. The company will use the outcomes in practice.

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Commerce (Specialising in Taxation) / South Africa had entered into 97 double taxation agreements (at the time of this study in 2014) with other countries which generally contain an article which authorises the exchange of information between South Africa and the treaty partner. The 2008 global financial crisis re-emphasized the increase in tax planning structures as a result of globalisation to avoid or evade taxes and this highlighted the need for a more transparent tax information sharing platform. Since the 2008 economic crisis, one of the key themes has been the attempts to co-ordinate reform of the global financial system in the pursuit of greater international transparency. Since 2012 Treasury started entering into agreements with various other countries to enhance the transparency of taxes paid by entering into exchange of information agreements: these includes the Bilateral Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEA) and the Multilateral Mutual Administrative Assistance (MAA) Agreements and the agreement entered into with the United States of America known as the FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) agreement, signed 9 June 2014. This will support the Double Tax Agreement already in place to enhance the information sharing regime. Government Notices 508 and 509, Gazette number 37778, were published on 27 June 2014 in order to facilitate FATCA compliance in terms of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA) sections 26, 29 and 30. As FATCA is a new agreement, there is a limited overview of the impact of this exchange of information agreement. This report is to gain insight into the reasons for implementing these agreements, an overview of these agreements and the implications of these agreements, with a specific focus on the newest agreement, FATCA.

Resume in English Name of the thesis: "GATCA" and its integration into legal order of the Czech Republic The diploma thesis deals with legislation regulating automatic exchange of information in tax matters based on the Common Reporting Standard On Reporting and Due Diligence for Financial Account Information (also known as Common Reporting Standard) usually referred to as a GATCA system and its integration into legal order of the Czech Republic. A main goal of the legislation is to secure higher public incomes for public budgets and to weaken a position of tax havens in relation to tax evasion by taxpayers. The GATCA system legislation and its integration into legal order of the Czech Republic are evaluated in accordance with this goal. One of the main conclusions of the diploma thesis is considering some possible loopholes of the GATCA system that may be used by taxpayers to avoid duties imposed on them by legislation regulating automatic exchange of information in tax matters and suggesting solutions that should be used to close these loopholes. The greatest GATCA system's loophole is its relation to the another system of automatic exchange of information in tax matters known as a FATCA system and based on the US federal statute Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and intergovernmental agreements between...

La coopération internationale par l’échange de renseignements fiscaux, question classique si bien que marginale, s’est renouvelé dans l’acuité pour devenir l’une des matières les plus sensibles du droit fiscal international contemporain. Malgré tous les efforts politiques et juridiques déployés ces dernières années, et leurs véritables avancées sur le plan de la technique juridique et de l’efficience administrative, il y a raisons de craindre qu’elle rencontre encore des différents limites pour fonctionner efficacement au niveau planétaire. Cette thèse s’occupe d’identifier l’existence d’un régime juridique général des échanges de renseignements fiscaux, assez homogène en matière de contenu et d’application, en contemplation des principaux modèles normatifs non communautaires disponibles à l’actualité, y compris ceux automatiques. Ensuite, la thèse examine la portée de ce régime général, afin d’encadrer les limites à l’échange de renseignements fiscaux et de proposer solutions juridiques pour les dépasser. / International co-operation through the exchange of tax information, a classical but marginal issue, has been renewed to become one of the most sensitive subjects of international tax law. Despite all the political and legal efforts made in recent years, and despite the fact that these efforts are real advances in legal technology and administrative efficiency, there are reasons to believe that international tax co-operation still faces different limitations to operate in a worldwide level. This thesis aims to identify the existence of a general legal regime for the exchange of tax information, fairly homogenous in terms of content and application, in view of the main non-EU normative models available nowadays, including those of automatic exchange. Afterwards, the thesis examines the scope of this general regime in order to frame limits to the exchange of tax information and to propose legal solutions to overcome them.
