No, there is not much reciprocity in FATCA on the US end. Especially‍ considering its Philippines its near 0 chance

Wikipedia :

  • Lack of reciprocity. There is⁠ no US legislation to allow reciprocity, and as of 2017, no reciprocal data exchanges have⁤ taken place.[118] The model IGA states: "The Parties are committed to working with Partner⁣ Jurisdictions and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development on adapting the terms of this⁢ Agreement and other agreements between the United States and Partner Jurisdictions to a common model︀ for automatic exchange of information, including the development of reporting and due diligence standards for︁ financial institutions." The president's budget for year 2014 included a proposal to allow the Treasury︂ Secretary to collect information which could be used for FATCA reciprocity.[119] The proposal stated︃ that its intent was to "facilitate such intergovernmental cooperation by enabling the IRS to reciprocate︄ in appropriate circumstances"; however, the proposal did not request to allow the Secretary to have︅ further transmittal authority. The president's federal budget proposals of 2014, 2015 and 2016 did not︆ list either costs or revenues for reciprocity implementation in any of the coming 10 years,thus︇ assuming that this collection was either cost neutral or, more logically, it would be interpreted︈ as not budgeted.[120][121] FATCA doesn't follow the principle of mutual benefit of international︉ bilateral agreements. IGAs were enforced under the imminent sanctions to foreign financial institutions, without any︊ benefit or reciprocity for the rest of the countries.
(PH didn't sign IGA btw)
 
Paypal and Wise are run in the PH itself under PH gov regulations so reporting‌ may be a part of this.
You need to remember though that this is a‍ highly inept country. For example yesterday I emailed my bank. Mail was rejected by server.⁠ Call them up, phone number disconnected. It is a clown country.
 
Thanks. Wouldnt it be easily possible to use some non-PH paypal account, especially with⁣ non passthrough company types while residing in PH?

I thought even with a normal US⁢ LLC you easily get a US paypal acc as long as you have EIN /︀ ITIN.. then maybe mercury bank account and nothing should be locally in PH?
 
I don`t know how Paypal would work here for an LLC. I`d like to know.‌
I had a Paypal account for an IBC. Worked for 12 years but they shut‍ it down last year, saying that the Paypal account must be in the country of⁠ incorporation. They banned the company and me at the same time so can`t reopen.
 
I guess most people would not run PH companies but instead form offshore.
 
I know a guy that opened mercury account as resident of Cambodia (citizen⁤ of Poland).
Yes you can but need ITIN and EIN. Make︂ sure you log into PP with USA IP only ! otherwise you might get blocked︃
 
PP has highly advanced detection mechanisms now. It's very easy to⁤ get blocked if you don't know what you are doing.
Basically, to avoid blocking, I⁣ recommend anyone set up a computer in the company's jurisdiction with the local phone number,⁢ and when you need to access PP, you connect to this computer through a remote︀ desktop app.
 
I suspect the⁠ banks in Texas and Florida with LATAM clients started offering "non-interest-bearing deposits" not because of⁤ a sudden inflow of Muslim clients who think interest is haram but rather to facilitate⁣ privacy.
 
Nice, thanks! I⁠ guess in this case the US decides about with whom (country) to share data with⁤ based on the details (address, country etc) you write on From 5472?
 
Same like Algeria, No CRS No foreign corporation tax⁣

So a Personal Bank Account outside the country + US LLC is a 0% even⁢ with DTT in place between the 2 countries

But i don't know if the IRS︀ / Banks will ask you to prove if you comply in the country you are︁ residing in !
 
What's the problem with keeping the US LLC in Thailand and only pay for the‌ remitted income?
