Intergovernmental Agreements (Igas)

Growth Planning: The Intergovernmental Agreement in Colorado is a guide for local government employees and public servants considering cooperative planning, including intergovernmental agreements (IGAs). Developing an IGA can be a challenge, and this manual provides insight into the process, when and how they are used, frequently asked questions and state-wide example agreements. Check out more examples from Colorado in the list below. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is a U.S. law that requires foreign financial institutions and certain other companies around the world to report U.S. accounts to the internal revenue department, so that these amounts can be properly taxed in accordance with the internal income code. Legislation is facilitated by intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) between the United States and other countries, based on one of two types of standard agreements. The published IGA guidelines provide practical assistance to financial industry employees dealing with companies involved in the agreements with the United States and the United Kingdom. The IGA Global Summary provides a general summary of all countries with substance agreements or agreements that are published directly with updates to the Fatca Resource Center of the U.S. Treasury Department.

The development of intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) on the implementation of tax reporting and retention procedures and FATCA-related sources continues. The U.S. Treasury has issued standard agreements for the implementation of FATCA. These agreements will form the basis of negotiations between the United States and FATCA partner countries. They will continue to be updated as more IGAs are announced. In addition to the countries that have signed IGAs, the U.S. Treasury will treat an IGA as “in force” with a partner jurisdiction if the United States has reached an agreement on the merits. The European Parliament and the Council of the EU have adopted new rules to increase transparency and compliance with EU energy legislation for intergovernmental agreements (IGAs), which EU countries sign with third countries. These rules closely follow a proposal by the European Commission in February 2016.
