U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act Under the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ( FATCA ), a foreign financial institution ( FFI ) is required to report to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) certain information on U.S. persons that hold accounts with that FFI outside the U.S. and to obtain their consent to the FFI passing that information to the IRS. An FFI which does not sign or agree to comply with the requirements of an agreement with the IRS ( FFI Agreement ) in respect of FATCA and / or who is not otherwise exempt from doing so (referred to as a nonparticipating FFI ) will face a 30% withholding tax ( FATCA Withholding Tax ) on all withholdable payments (as defined under FATCA) derived from U.S. sources (initially including dividends, interest and certain derivative payments). The U.S. and Hong Kong have signed an inter-governmental agreement ( IGA ) to facilitate compliance by FFIs in Hong Kong with FATCA and which creates a framework for Hong Kong FFIs to rely on streamlined due diligence procedures to (i) identify U.S. indicia, (ii) seek consent for disclosure from its U.S. policyholders and (iii) report relevant tax information of those policyholders to the IRS. FATCA applies to the Company and this policy. The Company is a participating FFI. The Company is committed to complying with FATCA. To do so, the Company requires you to: (i) provide to the Company certain information including, as applicable, your U.S. identification details (e.g. name, address, the US federal taxpayer identifying numbers, etc); and (ii) consent to the Company reporting this information and your account information (such as account balances, interest and dividend income and withdrawals) to the IRS. If you fail to comply with these obligations (being a Non-Compliant Accountholder ), the Company is required to report aggregate information of account balances, payment amounts and number of non-consenting US accounts to IRS. The Company could, in certain circumstances, be required to impose FATCA Withholding Tax on payments made to, or which it makes from, your policy. Currently the only circumstances in which the Company may be required to do so are: (i) if the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong fails to exchange information with the IRS under IGA (and the relevant tax information exchange agreement between Hong Kong and the U.S.), in which case the Company may be required to deduct and withhold FATCA Withholding Tax on withholdable payments made to your policy and remit this to the IRS; and (ii) if you are (or any other account holder is) a nonparticipating FFI, in which case the Company may be required to deduct and withhold FATCA Withholding Tax on withholdable payments made to your policy and remit this to the IRS. You should seek independent professional advice on the impact FATCA may have on you or your policy.
