The Council applauded today the introduction of H.R.6159. The legislation is a critical step to clarifying that property/casualty insurance premiums are irrelevant to tax evasion and should not be included as part of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). If signed into law, the bill would ease a projected $500 million compliance burden that does nothing to further FATCA’s goals to combat tax evasion.
