FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) Form The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) was enacted by US Congress to increase transparency regarding US citizens and US residents who hold offshore assets and to improve tax compliance. It imposes certain due diligence and reporting obligations on non-US financial institutions, including Australian institutions. Australia and the US signed an Intergovernmental agreement (IGA) to support Australian institutions’ compliance with FATCA. Australian Ethical Investment Ltd is required to collect, identify and report to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) on various account-related information of all investors deemed to be a US person (subject to any applicable threshold or exemption). If Australian Ethical Investment limited does not receive this information, we are required to withhold US withholding tax on certain income or other payments received on your investments. In addition, we may be required to report any non-compliance to the relevant US authorities via the ATO.
