Earlier this week, the "Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2009" (the "bill") was introduced in the Senate and the House. The bill is another effort aimed at curbing tax evasion through use of foreign financial accounts and investments by United States persons, although many of the provisions apply more broadly, and if passed in its current form, the bill will have significant implications beyond offshore bank accounts and their equivalents, in particular for hedge funds and private equity funds that are formed offshore.
