Not only has Thomson Reuters delivered a solution that solves our clients’ needs, we also are proud to have a trusted relationship with Thomson Reuters.”
Thomson Reuters FATCA solution is an innovative, efficient way for financial services companies to mitigate the risk of non-compliance with U.S. withholding documentation and FATCA self certification requirements, typically forms W-8 and W-9, concerning U.S. source income.
