U.S., Israel Reach FATCA Agreement, Treasury Confirms
Posted May 01, 2014, 1:53 P.M. ET
The U.S. has reached an intergovernmental agreement with Israel to implement the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, the Treasury Department said May 1.
A Treasury spokeswoman told Bloomberg BNA the two countries have reached a Model 1 agreement in substance.
Enacted in 2010, FATCA requires foreign financial institutions to report U.S.-owned accounts to the Internal Revenue Service or face, in some cases, a 30 percent withholding tax on their U.S.-source income.

Model 1 agreements call for reciprocal information exchanges between nations.
