| 美國總統歐巴馬連任成功，美國打擊美國人海外逃稅動作加快，預計今年底前將與約50個國家完成簽訂政府間協定或協商，遵守外國帳戶稅收遵從法（FATCA） 規定，而我國應對性不足，迄無任何具體行動，金融業界擔心受罰憂心忡忡。 | With U.S. president Obama’s re-election, the U.S.’ attack on overseas tax evasion by Americans is picking up speed, and it is forecast that by the end of the year it will conclude the signing of intergovernmental agreements or negotiations with more than fifty countries regarding compliance with Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act regulations. However, our country is not being responsive enough, and up to now has not taken any concrete action, leaving the finance industry worried that it will be penalised. |
