Congress Push to Provide Additional
Tools to Avoid Tax Evasion
• Problem: Country Sovereignty and Bank
Secrecy Laws used to Promote Non-Tax
Compliance
• Congressional Solution:
– New Chapter 4 –
• Creates a Withholding Tax not for the sake of Collecting
Tax, but to Encourage (Coerce some would say) FFIs
into providing detailed account information of U.S.
persons
Chapter 3 vs. New Chapter 4
• Collecting Tax on Chapter 3 –
– Collecting Withholding Tax
• Encouraging (some would say “coercing”)
– Providing Information – Re: Accounts

Q11: Trusts
(a)“simple trusts”
(b) default “grantor trusts” or
(c)“complex trusts.”
Q11: Trusts
• A person treated as an owner under
§§671-679 of the Code, or
• A person who holds a beneficial interest:
Right to receive directly or indirectly (e.g.
through a nominee) a mandatory distributor or
may receive, directly or indirectly, a
discretionary distribution
Q11: Trusts
Example 1: On January 1, 2013 Y, an individual,
establishes Trust Z, a nongrantor foreign trust for
the benefit of Z’s children. Y appoints his brother
W to act as trustee of Trust Z. The assets of Trust
Z are stocks and bonds, and its income is derived
from those financial assets. Under the terms of
the trust, Trustee W manages and administers the
trust property himself. W does not hire any third
party professional manager. Trust Z is not an
investment entity and FFI.
Q11: Trusts
Example 2: The facts are the same as in Example
1, except that Y hires a Trust Co., an FFI to act as
trustee on behalf of the Trust Z. As trustee, Trust
Co. manages and administers the assets of the
trust in accordance with the trust instrument for the
benefit the beneficiaries (in this example the
children). Trust Z will be an investment entity and
an FFI, since it is managed by an FFI.
Q11: Trusts
Example 3: a Trust Co., a professional trustee,
acts as trustee for the Z Family Trust, a foreign
trust for the benefit of the family of Mr. Z. Trust Co.
is unable to determine the type of trust Z Family
Trust is for U.S. tax purposes. Accordingly, Z
Family Trust will be treated as a grantor trust by
the withholding agent.
Q11: Trusts
Mandatory beneficial interests: A specified US person has more than
a 10% interest if the value of the person’s interest exceeds 10% of the
value of all the assets held by the trust
Mandatory and discretionary beneficial interests: A specified US
person has a more than 10% interest in the trust if the value exceeds
either 10% of the value of all distributions made by the trust during the
year or 10% of the value of all assets of the trust
Exception for substantial US Owner:
•Discretionary distributions. The value of the currency or other property
distributed to the specified US person during the calendar year must
exceed $5,000
•Mandatory distributions or mandatory/discretionary distributions. The
value of such person’s interest (determined under the valuation rules)
exceeds $50,000
Q11: Trusts
Example 4 -- Determining the 10% Beneficial Interest in a Foreign
Trust.
Andrea and her cousin Ralph are both discretionary
beneficiaries in AnRa Family Trust, a foreign trust. The
trustee distributes $25,000 to Andrea and $5,000 to Ralph
in Year 1. Total distributions from the AnRa Family Trust to
beneficiaries for year 1 were $200,000. Andrea’s beneficial
interest in the trust will exceed 10% of the total distributed
for Year 1, therefore she is considered a substantial U.S.
owner. Ralph, on the other hand, will not be considered a
substantial U.S. owner in the trust as his distribution of
$5,000 is de minimis.

  • 64. Q11: Trusts Example 1: On January 1, 2013 Y, an individual, establishes Trust Z, a nongrantor foreign trust for the benefit of Z’s children. Y appoints his brother W to act as trustee of Trust Z. The assets of Trust Z are stocks and bonds, and its income is derived from those financial assets. Under the terms of the trust, Trustee W manages and administers the trust property himself. W does not hire any third party professional manager. Trust Z is not an investment entity and FFI.
  • 65. Q11: Trusts Example 2: The facts are the same as in Example 1, except that Y hires a Trust Co., an FFI to act as trustee on behalf of the Trust Z. As trustee, Trust Co. manages and administers the assets of the trust in accordance with the trust instrument for the benefit the beneficiaries (in this example the children). Trust Z will be an investment entity and an FFI, since it is managed by an FFI.
  • 66. Q11: Trusts Example 3: a Trust Co., a professional trustee, acts as trustee for the Z Family Trust, a foreign trust for the benefit of the family of Mr. Z.

  • 67. Q11: Trusts Mandatory beneficial interests: A specified US person has more than a 10% interest if the value of the person’s interest exceeds 10% of the value of all the assets held by the trust Mandatory and discretionary beneficial interests: A specified US person has a more than 10% interest in the trust if the value exceeds either 10% of the value of all distributions made by the trust during the year or 10% of the value of all assets of the trust Exception for substantial US Owner: •Discretionary distributions. The value of the currency or other property distributed to the specified US person during the calendar year must exceed $5,000 •Mandatory distributions or mandatory/discretionary distributions. The value of such person’s interest (determined under the valuation rules) exceeds $50,000
  • 68. Q11: Trusts Example 4 -- Determining the 10% Beneficial Interest in a Foreign Trust. Andrea and her cousin Ralph are both discretionary beneficiaries in AnRa Family Trust, a foreign trust. The trustee distributes $25,000 to Andrea and $5,000 to Ralph in Year 1. Total distributions from the AnRa Family Trust to beneficiaries for year 1 were $200,000. Andrea’s beneficial interest in the trust will exceed 10% of the total distributed for Year 1, therefore she is considered a substantial U.S. owner. Ralph, on the other hand, will not be considered a substantial U.S. owner in the trust as his distribution of $5,000 is de minimis.
