Tax liabilities in the US

Sweden has signed an agreement with the US, called an Intergovernmental agreement (IGA). This agreement derives from the US tax legislation FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act). Under the FATCA law financial institutions all over the world are required to identify and report the aggregated amounts on accounts held by US persons. Read more about IGA and FATCA on IRS’s homepage. You find a link on this page.
