U.S. Treasury Releases Model Intergovernmental Agreement For Implementing The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act To Improve Offshore Tax Compliance And Reduce Burden - Agreement Developed With France, Germany, Italy, Spain And The United Kingdom Marks Important Milestone In Combatting Offshore Tax Evasion

Date 26/07/2012

The U.S. Department of the Treasury today published a model intergovernmental agreement (model agreement) to implement the information reporting and withholding tax provisions commonly known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). Enacted by Congress in 2010, these provisions target non-compliance by U.S. taxpayers using foreign accounts. The model agreement announced today was developed in consultation with France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom and marks an important step in establishing a common approach to combatting tax evasion based on the automatic exchange of information. These five countries, along with the United States, will, in close cooperation with other partner countries, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and, when appropriate, the European Commission, work towards common reporting and due diligence standards in support of a more global approach to effectively combatting tax evasion while minimizing compliance burdens.

Deutsche Börse AG published its figures for the second quarter of 2012 on Thursday. The Company’s sales revenue rose to €555.0 million. This corresponds to a 5 percent increase compared with the second quarter of 2011 (€528.6 million), now that
100 percent of Eurex’s sales revenue is attributable to Deutsche Börse following its full acquisition. Despite an overall weak financial market environment, the Company’s net revenue remained stable at €506.7 million.

The Group’s operating costs declined by 2 percent year-on-year to €228.9 million and include exceptional items of around €5 million mainly for efficiency measures.
