The ITA wishes to inform FI’s that the BVIFARs portal updates have been completed with respect to the “ISSUED BY” option in special circumstances where a TIN is not available.

FI’s with FATCA reporting obligations can now access the Portal and report accounts for an account holder that is not assigned a TIN, but the account has a substantial US owner.

FI’s are reminded of the steps to report under the “ISSUED BY” option as outlined in our 21st February, 2022 press release.

For further information, questions or concerns please feel free to contact us via the following means: telephone number: 1 284 343 4415, email address: Info@bviita.vg
