On December 13, 2018, Treasury released proposed regulations under chapter 4 (sections 1471 through 1474) commonly known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), as well as sections 1441 and 1461.
The proposed changes include the following:

• deferring withholding on foreign passthru payments,
• eliminating withholding on certain insurance premiums,
• clarifying the definition of investment entity,
• guidance concerning certain due diligence requirements of withholding agents, and
• guidance on refunds and credits of amounts withheld.
