IRS reminder that responsible officer certifications are due by 1 July 2022

The IRS today issued a reminder that responsible officer certifications are due by 1 July 2022 for the FATCA certification period ending 31 December 2021.

Read the IRS transmittal message (7 June 2022).

If an entity that is required to certify does not submit its certifications by the due date, the entity will not be in compliance with its obligations under FATCA.  The consequences of being non-compliant may include the revocation of an entity’s FATCA status and, ultimately, the entity’s global intermediary identification number (GIIN) being removed from the foreign financial institutions list.
