Whereas, the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Hungary

international tax compliance through mutual assistance in tax matters based on an effective

infrastructure for the automatic exchange of information;

Whereas, Article 23 of the Convention between the Government of the United States of

America and the Government of the Hungarian People's Republic for the Avoidance of

done at Washington on February 12, 1979 (the "Convention"), authorizes the exchange of

Whereas, the United States of America enacted provisions commonly known as the Foreign

Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), which introduce a reporting regime for financial

institutions with respect to certain accounts;

Whereas, the Government of Hungary is supportive of the underlying policy goal of FATCA

to improve tax compliance;

Whereas, FATCA has raised a number of issues, including that Hungarian financial

institutions may not be able to comply with certain aspects of FATCA due to domestic legal

impediments;

Whereas, the Government of the United States of America collects information regarding

certain accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions held by residents of Hungary and

is committed to exchanging such information with the Government of Hungary and pursuing

equivalent levels of exchange, provided that the appropriate safeguards and infrastructure for

an effective exchange relationship are in place;

Whereas, the Parties are committed to working together over the longer term towards

achieving common reporting and due diligence standards for financial institutions;

Whereas, the Government of the United States of America acknowledges the need to

coordinate the reporting obligations under FATCA with other U.S. tax reporting obligations

of Hungarian financial institutions to avoid duplicative reporting;

Whereas, an intergovernmental approach to FATCA implementation would address legal

impediments and reduce burdens for Hungarian financial institutions;

Whereas, the Parties desire to conclude an agreement to improve international tax

compliance and provide for the implementation of FATCA based on domestic reporting and

reciprocal automatic exchange pursuant to the Convention or any successor Convention and

subject to the confidentiality and other protections provided for therein, including the

provisions limiting the use of the information exchanged under the Convention or any

successor Convention;

by persons that are not resident in the jurisdiction where such Related Entity

or branch is located or accounts held by Nonparticipating Financial

Institutions that are not established in the jurisdiction where such Related

Entity or branch is located, and such Related Entity or branch is not used by

Account Holder. In the case of a Preexisting Individual Account that

is a Lower Value Account, an "in-care-of' address outside the United

States or "hold mail" address shall not be treated as U.S. indicia.

2. If none of the U.S. indicia listed in subparagraph B(1) of this section

there is a change in circumstances that results in one or more U.S.. indicia

being associated with the account, or the account becomes a High Value

treat the account as a U.S. Reportable Account unless subparagraph B(4) of

this section applies.

2. Paper Record Search. If the Reporting Hungarian Financial

Institution's electronically searchable databases include fields for, and

capture all of the information described in, subparagraph D(3) of this section,

then no further paper record search is required. If the electronic databases do

not capture all of this information, then with respect to a High Value

Account, the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution must also review the

current customer master file and, to the extent not contained in the current

customer master file, the following documents associated with the account

and obtained by the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution within the last

five years for any of the U.S. indicia described in subparagraph 13(1) of this

4. Relationship Manager Inquiry for Actual Knowledge. In addition

to the electronic and paper record searches described above, the Reporting

Hungarian Financial Institution must treat as a U.S. Reportable Account any

High Value Account assigned to a relationship manager (including any

Financial Accounts aggregated with such High Value Account) if the

relationship manager has actual knowledge that the Account Holder is a

Specified U.S. Person.

5. Effect of Finding U.S. Indicia.

a) If none of the U.S. indicia listed in subparagraph B(I) of this

section are discovered in the enhanced review of High Value

Accounts described above, and the account is not identified as held by

a Specified U.S. Person in subparagraph D(4) of this section, then no

further action is required until there is a change in circumstances that

results in one or more U.S. indicia being associated with the account.

b) If any of the U.S. indicia listed in subparagraph 13(1) of this

section are discovered in the enhanced review of High Value

Accounts described above, or if there is a subsequent change in

circumstances that results in one or more U.S. indicia being

associated with the account, then the Reporting Hungarian Financial

Institution must treat the account as a U.S. Reportable Account unless

it elects to apply subparagraph B(4) of this section and one of the

exceptions in such subparagraph applies with respect to that account.

23
c) Except for Depository Accounts described in subparagraph

A(4) of this section, any Preexisting Individual Account that has been

identified as a U.S. Reportable Account under this section shall be

treated as a U.S. Reportable Account in all subsequent years, unless

the Account Holder ceases to be a Specified U.S. Person.

E. Additional Procedures Annlicable to Mali Value Accounts.

1. If a Preexisting Individual Account is a High Value Account as of

June 30, 2014, the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution must complete

the enhanced review procedures described in paragraph D of this section with

respect to such account by June 30, 2015. If based on this review such

account is identified as a U.S. Reportable Account on or before December 31,

2014, the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution must report the required

information about such account with respect to 2014 in the first report on the

account and on an annual basis thereafter. In the case of an account

identified as a U.S. Reportable Account after December 31, 2014 and on or

before June 30, 2015, the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution is not

required to report information about such account with respect to 2014, but

must report information about the account on an annual basis thereafter.

2. If a Preexisting Individual Account is not a High Value Account as of

June 30, 2014, but becomes a High Value Account as of the last day of 2015

or any subsequent calendar year, the Reporting Hungarian Financial

Institution must complete the enhanced review procedures described in

paragraph D of this section with respect to such account within six months

after the last day of the calendar year in which the account becomes a High

Value Account. If based on this review such account is identified as a U.S.

Reportable Account, the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution must

report the required information about such account with respect to the year in

which it is identified as a U.S. Reportable Account and subsequent years on

an annual basis, unless the Account Holder ceases to be a Specified U.S.

Person.

3. Once a Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution applies the

enhanced review procedures described in paragraph D of this section to a

High Value Account, the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution is not

required to re-apply such procedures, other than the relationship manager

inquiry described in subparagraph D(4) of this section, to the same High

Value Account in any subsequent year.

4. If there is a change of circumstances with respect to a High Value

Account that results in one or more U.S. indicia described in subparagraph

B(1) of this section being associated with the account, then the Reporting

Hungarian Financial Institution must treat the account as a U.S. Reportable

Account unless it elects to apply subparagraph B(4) of this section and one of

the exceptions in such subparagraph applies with respect to that account.

24
5. A Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution must implement

procedures to ensure that a relationship manager identifies any change in

circumstances of an account. For example, if a relationship manager is

notified that the Account Holder has a new mailing address in the United

States, the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution is required to treat the

new address as a change in circumstances and, if it elects to apply

subparagraph B(4) of this section, is required to obtain the appropriate

documentation from the Account Holder.

F. Preexistinz Individual Accounts That Have Been Documented for

Certain Other Purposes. A Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution that has

previously obtained documentation from an Account Holder to establish the Account

Holder's status as neither a U.S. citizen nor a U.S. resident in order to meet its

obligations under a qualified intermediary, withholding foreign partnership, or

withholding foreign trust agreement with the IRS, or to fulfill its obligations under

chapter 61 of Title 26 of the United States Code, is not required to perform the

procedures described in subparagraph B(1) of this section with respect to Lower

Value Accounts or subparagraphs D(1) through D(3) of this section with respect to

High Value Accounts.

III. New Individual Accounts. The following rules and procedures apply for purposes

of identifying U.S. Reportable Accounts among Financial Accounts held by individuals and

opened on or after July 1, 2014 ("New Individual Accounts").

A. Accounts Not Required to Be Reviewed, Identified, or Reported. Unless

the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution elects otherwise, either with respect to

all New Individual Accounts or, separately, with respect to any clearly identified

group of such accounts, where the implementing rules in Hungary provide for such

an election, the following New Individual Accounts are not required to be reviewed,

identified, or reported as U.S. Reportable Accounts:

1. A Depository Account unless the account balance exceeds $50,000 at

the end of any calendar year or other appropriate reporting period.

2. A Cash Value Insurance Contract unless the Cash Value exceeds

$50,000 at the end of any calendar year or other appropriate reporting period.

B. Other New Individual Accounts- With respect to New Individual Accounts

not described in paragraph A of this section, upon account opening (or within 90

days after the end of the calendar year in which the account ceases to be described in

paragraph A of this section), the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution must

obtain a self-certification, which may be part of the account opening documentation,

that allows the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution to determine whether the

Account Holder is resident in the United States for tax purposes (for this purpose, a

U.S. citizen is considered to be resident in the United States for tax purposes, even if

the Account Holder is also a tax resident of another jurisdiction) and confirm the

reasonableness of such self-certification based on the information obtained by the

Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution in connection with the opening of the

account, including any documentation collected pursuant to AML/KYC Procedures.

25
1. If the self-certification establishes that the Account Holder is resident

in the United States for tax purposes, the Reporting Hungarian Financial

Institution must treat the account as a U.S. Reportable Account and obtain a

self-certification that includes the Account Holder's U.S. TIN (which may be

an IRS Form W-9 or other similar agreed form).

2. If there is a change of circumstances with respect to a New Individual

Account that causes the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution to know,

or have reason to know, that the original self-certification is incorrect or

unreliable, the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution cannot rely on the

original self-certification and must obtain a valid self-certification that

establishes whether the Account Holder is a U.S. citizen or resident for U.S.

tax purposes. If the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution is unable to

obtain a valid self-certification, the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution

must treat the account as a U.S. Reportable Account.

IV. Preexisting Entity Accounts. The following rules and procedures apply for

purposes of identifying U.S. Reportable Accounts and accounts held by Nonparticipating

Financial Institutions among Preexisting Accounts held by Entities ("Preexisting Entity

Accounts").

A. Entity Accounts Not Required to Be Reviewed, Identified or Reported.

Unless the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution elects otherwise, either with

respect to all Preexisting Entity Accounts or, separately, with respect to any clearly

identified group of such accounts, where the implementing rules in Hungary provide

for such an election, a Preexisting Entity Account with an account balance or value

that does not exceed $250,000 as of June 30, 2014, is not required to be reviewed,

identified, or reported as a U.S. Reportable Account until the account balance or

value exceeds $1,000,000.

B. Entity Accounts Subject to Review. A Preexisting Entity Account that has

an account balance or value that exceeds $250,000 as of June 30, 2014, and a

Preexisting Entity Account that does not exceed $250,000 as of June 30, 2014 but

the account balance or value of which exceeds $1,000,000 as of the last day of 2015

or any subsequent calendar year, must be reviewed in accordance with the

procedures set forth in paragraph D of this section.

C. Entity Accounts With Respect to Which Reporting Is Required. With

respect to Preexisting Entity Accounts described in paragraph B of this section, only

accounts that are held by one or more Entities that are Specified U.S. Persons, or by

Passive NFFEs with one or more Controlling Persons who are U.S. citizens or

residents, shall be treated as U.S. Reportable Accounts. In addition, accounts held

by Nonparticipating Financial Institutions shall be treated as accounts for which

aggregate payments as described in subparagraph 1(b) of Article 4 of the Agreement

are reported to the Hungarian Competent Authority.

D. Review Procedures for Identifying Entity Accounts With Respect to 

Which Reporting Is Required. For Preexisting Entity Accounts described in

paragraph B of this section, the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution must

apply the following review procedures to deteluiine whether the account is held by

26
one or more Specified U.S. Persons, by Passive NFFEs with one or more Controlling

Persons who are U.S. citizens or residents, or by Nonparticipating Financial

Institutions:

I. Determine Whether the Entity Is a Specified U.S. Person.

a) Review information maintained for regulatory or customer

relationship purposes (including information collected pursuant to

AML/KYC Procedures) to determine whether the information

indicates that the Account Holder is a U.S. Person. For this purpose,

information indicating that the Account Holder is a U.S. Person

includes a U.S. place of incorporation or organization, or a U.S.

address.

b) If the information indicates that the Account Holder is a U.S.

Person, the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution must treat the

account as a U.S. Reportable Account unless it obtains a selfcertification from the Account Holder (which may be on an IRS Form

W-8 or W-9, or a similar agreed form), or reasonably determines

based on information in its possession or that is publicly available,

that the Account Holder is not a Specified U.S. Person.

2. Determine Whether a Non-U.S. Entity Is a Financial Institution.

a) Review information maintained for regulatory or customer

relationship purposes (including information collected pursuant to

AMLJKYC Procedures) to determine whether the information

indicates that the Account Holder is a Financial Institution.

b) If the information indicates that the Account Holder is a

Financial Institution, or the Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution

verifies the Account Holder's Global Intermediary Identification

Number on the published IRS FFI list, then the account is not a U.S.

Reportable Account.

3. Determine Whether a Financial Institution Is a Nonparticipating

Financial Institution Payments to Which Are Subject to Aggregate 

Reporting Under Subparagraph 1(b) of Article 4 of the Agreement.

a) Subject to subparagraph D(3)(b) of this section, a Reporting

Hungarian Financial Institution may determine that the Account

Holder is a Hungarian Financial Institution or other Partner

Institution reasonably determines that the Account Holder has such

status on the basis of the Account Holder's Global Intermediary

Identification Number on the published IRS FFI list or other

information that is publicly available or in the possession of the

Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution, as applicable. In such

case, no further review, identification, or reporting is required with

respect to the account.

27
b) If the Account Holder is a Hungarian Financial Institution or

other Partner Jurisdiction Financial Institution treated by the IRS as a

Nonparticipating Financial Institution, then the account is not a U.S.

Reportable Account, but payments to the Account Holder must be

obtain a self-certification (which may be on an IRS Form W-8 or W9, or on a similar agreed form) from the Account Holder to establish

its status, unless it has information in its possession or that is publicly

available, based on which it can reasonably determine that the

Account Holder is an Active NFFE.

28
c) For purposes of determining whether a Controlling Person of a

Passive NFFE is a U.S. citizen or resident for tax purposes, a

Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution may rely on:

(1) Information collected and maintained pursuant to

AML/KYC Procedures in the case of a Preexisting Entity

Account held by one or more NFFEs with an account balance

or value that does not exceed $1,000,000; or

(2) A self-certification (which may be on an IRS Form W8 or W-9, or on a similar agreed form) from the Account

documentation associated with an account is incorrect or unreliable, the

Reporting Hungarian Financial Institution must redetermine the status of the

account in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph D of this

section.

information that is publicly available or in the possession of the Reporting

Hungarian Financial Institution, as applicable.

2. If the Account Holder is a Hungarian Financial Institution or other Partner

Institution must treat the account as a U.S. Reportable Account

Specified U.S. Person; (ii) subject to subparagraph B(3)(d) of this

section, a Hungarian Financial Institution or other Partner Jurisdiction

relevant U.S. Treasury Regulations; (iv) an Active NFFE; or (v) a
