Tradepass Review - U.S. Tax Compliance for Monaco Banks and Investment Funds
U.S. Tax Compliance for Monaco Banks and Investment Funds
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) imposes comprehensive due diligence, withholding, and reporting obligations on foreign financial institutions (FFIs) that hold U.S. accounts. Since Monaco has not signed an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the United States, Monaco banks and investment funds generally fall under the non-IGA FATCA framework, governed by the FFI Agreement outlined in IRS Revenue Procedure 2014-38.
While compliance with U.S. FATCA requirements may seem daunting and expensive, it is important to note that it often leads to significant benefits, including efficient access to American financial markets. In the absence of a specific agreement with the IRS, clients of the Monaco financial institution may be subject to a 30% withholding tax on certain U.S.-source payments. This is technically referred to as “Chapter 4 Withholding” and cannot be overridden by any Income Tax Treaty.
1. Who Must Comply?
All Monegasque entities that qualify as foreign financial institutions (FFIs) must either:
- Enter into an FFI Agreement with the IRS as a Participating FFI, or
- Qualify for and certify as a deemed-compliant FFI, if eligible.
An FFI typically includes:
- Banks and deposit-taking institutions
- Custodians and brokers
- Investment funds
- Certain insurance companies
2. FATCA Registration Steps for Monegasque FFIs
Step 1: Determine FFI Classification
Classify your entity according to IRS definitions. Most banks and funds will be classified as FFIs, not NFFEs (non-financial foreign entities).
Step 2: Register with the IRS
- Use Form 8957 through the FATCA Registration Portal.
- Designate a Responsible Officer (RO).
- Identify and register all relevant branches, including those in Monaco.
Step 3: Receive a GIIN
Once approved, your institution will receive a Global Intermediary Identification Number (GIIN) and be listed on the IRS FFI List.
3. Key Compliance Obligations Under the FFI Agreement
As a Participating FFI, you agree to:
Due Diligence
- Classify all account holders and payees.
- Identify:
- U.S. accounts
- Nonparticipating FFIs
- Recalcitrant account holders
- Apply specific documentation and verification procedures (e.g., Form W-8BEN-E, self-certifications).
Withholding
- Impose a 30% withholding tax on U.S.-source payments to:
- Recalcitrant account holders
- Nonparticipating FFIs
- Withholding on foreign passthru payments is deferred until regulations are finalized.
Reporting
- Annually report:
- U.S. account holder details (Form 8966)
- Aggregate information for recalcitrant accounts
- File Form 1042 for payments and withholding, as applicable.
Compliance Program
- Appoint a Compliance Official within your organization (if applicable).
- Maintain written procedures.
- Ensure systems to monitor changes in account holder status.
- Certify compliance every three years (or more frequently if required).
U.S. Treasury Regulations offer several important exceptions specifically designed for smaller Monegasque institutions that may qualify for deemed-compliant status, thereby avoiding the costs associated with a FATCA compliance program:
a) Certified Deemed-Compliant Local FF
Conditions include:
- 95% of account holders are Monegasque residents.
- No U.S. account holders with balances over $50,000.
- No custodial or investment advisory services.
- No affiliations with foreign FFIs.
b) Owner-Documented FFI
Applicable for small entities sponsored by withholding agents, with a transparent ownership structure and no custodial functions.
These exceptions require certification and are valid only if IRS conditions are met and maintained.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Failing to classify accounts correctly or update documentation.
- Missing deadlines for filing Form 8966 or Form 1042.
- Assuming Monaco’s bank secrecy laws override U.S. tax law—they do not.
- Not identifying and registering limited branches, which exposes the group to risk.
Possible Penalties for Noncompliance with IRS Agreement
It is crucial to understand that U.S. tax laws impose significant penalties for noncompliance if a Monegasque bank or investment fund fails to meet regulations and specifically:
- Fails to register, or
- Defaults on the FFI Agreement, or
- Does not properly withhold or report,

“My full name is Alessandra though my English friends call me Alex. I live in the heart of the French Riviera, half Irish and half French from my Mum. They say the Irish is the twinkle in my eyes though I guess I got that from my Dad. I’ve been singing since I was 3 years old. My Mum & Dad always knew where to find me, sitting in front of the TV singing along with every show. The French Riviera is just great, my paradise. Swimming in the sea in the summer. Snowboarding in the winter. I am gigging around this part of France most of the year, from St Tropez to Monaco. Me and the boys get to play some amazing venues such as the Jazz Festival in Juan Le Pins & the Sporting Club in Monaco.
One of our favourites is the Bar American at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo. This place has atmosphere big time. All the greats have sung on the stage from Sinatra to Lady Gaga and I can really feel the vibe when I am performing.”

The success of these initiatives depends heavily on the support of the international community. Global contributions are vital to sustaining efforts to heal the rainforests, safeguard endangered species, and secure a sustainable future for both wildlife and local communities.
Human civilization faces an unprecedented dual crisis threatening our future. The planet’s climate is destabilizing, driving extreme weather events, while biodiversity collapses at alarming rate, while hundreds of species go extinct daily, and entire ecosystems disappear. This crisis is fueled by human-driven greenhouse gas emissions, habitat destruction, fragmentation, pollution, and overexploitation. Immediate action is essential.
The Borneo Wildlife Preservation (BWP) supports local NGO's with vital tree-planting initiatives aimed at restoring rainforests. These efforts focus on replanting degraded areas, creating wildlife corridors, land purchases and promoting biodiversity. By aiding in reforestation, ancient migration routes for Bornean elephants can be reconnected, which is critical to preventing human-elephant conflicts and ensuring the survival of this endangered species. BWP projects also provides aid to rescued animals in human care.
These projects also generate jobs for local communities, empowering residents to actively participate in conservation efforts while fostering economic stability. BWP is committed to improving livelihoods, protecting biodiversity, and promoting coexistence between humans and wildlife.

Tailored Family Office and Domestic Recruitment Solutions for Relocating UK Families
A Seamless Transition: Tailored Family Office and Domestic Recruitment Solutions for UHNW, HNW, Royal, and VIP Families Relocating from London to Monaco or Dubai
For ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW), high-net-worth (HNW), Royal, and VIP families, a seamlessly managed lifestyle is essential—especially with recent UK tax changes prompting many to reconsider residency. The UK’s abolition of the non-domiciled (non-dom) tax regime and new restrictions on offshore trusts have increased tax liabilities for these individuals. With Monaco and Dubai offering favorable tax environments and exceptional living standards, many families are now exploring relocation options.
Navigating New Tax Rules and Transitioning Abroad
The upcoming UK tax changes mean UHNW and HNW individuals who previously benefited from non-dom status will now face taxation on worldwide income and gains, regardless of domicile, and will lose protections for offshore trusts. These changes are expected to bring significant tax burdens, and wealth experts predict that many non-doms may consider leaving the UK. Industry professionals have expressed concern about the impact on wealth retention, with David Goepel, Head of Private Client International at Evelyn Partners, noting, “Many of the proposed changes take effect from 6 April 2025, and so it will be essential for many clients to conduct a holistic review of their existing structures together with their wider estate planning. Leaving the UK is not the only option—but advice needs to be taken quickly before next April.”
Platinum Group Recruitment’s Comprehensive Relocation and Recruitment Services
Platinum Group Recruitment provides high-caliber recruitment for family offices and private households, designed to help UHNW and HNW families transition smoothly to Monaco or Dubai. Our expertise spans two core areas—family office and executive recruitment as well as domestic recruitment—to meet clients’ needs with professionalism and discretion.
Key Roles in Family Office Recruitment
Family offices serve as the operational center for UHNW and Royal families, overseeing wealth management, administration, and strategic projects. Platinum Group Recruitment sources experienced professionals for essential family office roles, including:
Head of Family Office: As a key leader, the Head of Family Office coordinates operations, oversees staff, and provides strategic support to manage high-level and daily activities. This role is essential in ensuring the family’s interests are managed with efficiency and professionalism.
Executive and Personal Assistants: These roles support the family’s daily logistics, from managing schedules and travel to handling confidential administrative tasks. With an understanding of Monaco’s cultural environment and complex administrative processes, executive assistants enhance lifestyle efficiency and manage all organizational tasks with professionalism.
Financial and Legal Advisors: Families benefit from advisors who provide expertise in wealth management, trusts, tax planning, and other critical areas. Platinum Group Recruitment connects clients with professionals who are experienced in handling sophisticated bespoke requirements and structures.
Key Roles in Domestic Recruitment
In addition to family office recruitment, Platinum Group’s domestic recruitment ensures that every detail of home life is managed seamlessly. Key roles include:
House Managers and Housekeepers: The House Manager oversees household operations, coordinating maintenance, managing staff schedules, and working closely with housekeepers to ensure the home runs with elegance and efficiency.
Butlers: Dedicated to high standards of service, butlers manage formal service, household organization, and personal service needs, collaborating with other staff to deliver a refined level of hospitality that meets the family’s expectations.
Bilingual Nannies and Governesses: For families with children, Platinum Group Recruitment provides access to experienced nannies and governesses who offer both caregiving and educational support. These professionals are particularly valuable for families prioritizing a bilingual and culturally enriched environment for their children.
Private Chefs and Security Personnel: Catering to families who value privacy and exclusivity, private chefs provide personalized dining and dietary experiences, while security personnel ensure a safe and secure environment for the family’s peace of mind.
Many UHNW and HNW families ask us to assist them in bringing their established household and family office staff when relocating from the UK to Europe, but the current visa approval process for UK passport holders has become lengthy and often impractical. With new Brexit regulations, European visas for these roles are increasingly limited. Platinum Group Recruitment provides guidance on local recruitment and integration, ensuring families can establish trusted teams locally in their new homes.
Ongoing Support and Services
Beyond recruitment, Platinum Group offers ongoing support to maintain a cohesive lifestyle across residences. Our fractional Chief of Staff services provide high-level assistance as needed, including project-based support, without the commitment of a full-time role.
Our Platinum Virtual Assistants (VAs) provide flexible part- or full-time support and concierge services for managing schedules, family projects, and administrative tasks. We offer packages tailored to each family’s needs, ensuring reliable support whether for a few hours each week or continuous assistance. We also offer turnkey relocation assistance to streamline moves to Monaco or Dubai, where we have 17 years of experience assisting expat families. This includes residency administration, schooling options, real estate guidance, and local business and cultural resources to integrate families into elite communities smoothly.
Luxury, Privacy, and Professionalism at Every Step
At Platinum Group Recruitment, privacy and professionalism are paramount. Each placement is carefully matched to align with the family’s needs, ensuring support by seasoned professionals who understand the demands of exclusive environments.
Monaco and Dubai represent refined living, luxury, and privacy, and we make these lifestyles accessible by managing every detail with care. From family office recruitment to household recruitment, Platinum Group ensures each family experiences the freedom and sophistication they expect.
Seamless Integration for an Exclusive Lifestyle
For UHNW, HNW, Royal, and VIP families relocating to Monaco or Dubai, Platinum Group Recruitment offers a path to luxury, privacy, and seamless integration. By delivering tailored recruitment solutions for family office and domestic roles, with concierge and ongoing support where necessary, we empower families to fully embrace these exclusive lifestyles with confidence and ease.

BOLLE Blanc de Blanc Tasting Notes
Fine bubbles release an expressive bouquet of crisp apple, juicy pear, zesty citrus, and a whisper of toasted notes. Dry, fresh flavors with a rich finish that is well-balanced with a touch of minerality. Our wine is double-fermented meaning that all the flavour comes only from the grapes, the terroir and the wine making process. There are no added flavorings, colors or sugar.
BOLLE has created a world first and unique wine making approach as follows:
High-Quality De-alcoholization
Our journey starts with a premium Chardonnay wine, which is gently de-alcoholized using a cutting-edge double column vacuum distillation technique. Unlike traditional methods like spinning cone or reverse osmosis, our approach is not only superior in preserving the wine's natural characteristics but also more environmentally friendly. The result is a pure, high-quality de-alcoholized wine, ready for the next step.
Secondary Fermentation
What truly makes BOLLE unique is our exclusive secondary fermentation process – something no other alcohol-free wine offers. We introduce fresh grape juice and yeast to the de-alcoholized wine, allowing it to ferment a second time. This step is crucial to preserving the authentic wine experience, naturally creating flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel without relying on artificial additives.
Patent-Pending Technique
BOLLE is the world’s only alcohol-free wine to undergo this patent-pending secondary fermentation. This ensures that every characteristic of the wine—flavor, texture, aroma, and appearance—comes purely from the grapes and the fermentation process itself, offering a genuinely authentic experience.
