Update: The US Qualified Intermediary (QI) regime
Je m'inscris à la liste d'intérêt
This QI (Qualified Intermediary) course is in the framework of the legal obligation to provide sufficient training as a QI to all employees who have anything to do with the deduction of the American withholding tax and the related client identification/reporting that goes along with it. Most financial institutions with QI status will be audited in relation to this in the course of 2018.
The objective of this training course is to provide a general overview of:
- the operation of the QI regime;
- the requirements for customer identification and pitfalls regarding withholding;
- the mandatory ‘compliance programmes’ and the review (audit) planned in 2018;
- the integration between QI on the one hand and FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and CRS (Common Reporting Standard) on the other;
- the importance of coherence between the various tax customer data for each financial institution.

Méthodologie
You follow a ‘Classroom training’ in a group. You, the other participants and the teacher are all present in the same classroom at an agreed time. There is an opportunity for interaction and feedback, both from the participants to the teacher and vice versa. The teaching material consists as a basis of a presentation via the MyFA learning platform, supplemented with various other items (such as digital syllabus, presentation, audiovisual fragments, etc.).
Type of course: Classroom
During our interactive training courses, we aim to be as close as possible to everyday work practices. In this connection, practical tips, handy diagrams and recognisable cases are key elements. At the same time, our trainers do not overload you with legal clauses, etc. and instead speak the language you use every day at work.
