Statement On Court Filing By SEC To Protect Whistleblowers From Retaliation

Date 20/02/2014

“The Commission’s whistleblower program both encourages whistleblowers to report wrongdoing and protects them when they do. Today's filing makes clear that under SEC rules, whistleblowers are entitled to protection regardless of whether they report wrongdoing to their employer or the Commission. The Commission's brief supports the anti-retaliation protections under the Dodd-Frank Act that I believe are critical to the success of the SEC's whistleblower program.”

Treasury Releases Last Substantial Rules Package To Combat Offshore Tax Evasion - Amends FATCA Provisions And Coordinates FATCA Regulations With Preexisting Tax Rules

Date 20/02/2014

The U.S. Department of the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) today released the last substantial package of regulations necessary to implement the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). Each year, some wealthy individuals evade millions of dollars in taxes through the use of offshore financial accounts that are not reported to the IRS or other tax authorities. This international tax evasion is illegal, contributes to the federal debt, and creates inequity within the tax system. Congress enacted FATCA in 2010 with bipartisan support to target these illicit activities, and the provision has since become the global standard for promoting tax transparency. The proposed and temporary regulations released today make additions and clarifications to previously issued FATCA regulations and provide guidance to coordinate FATCA rules with preexisting due diligence, reporting, and withholding requirements under other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (Code).
