Entity Classification and GIIN Tracking Automatically identifies Foreign Financial Institutions (FFIs), tracks Global Intermediary Identification Numbers (GIINs), and links them with globally recognized identifiers such as Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), Avox Identifier (AVID), Dun & Bradstreet Number (D-U-N-S®) — providing a comprehensive and traceable view of each entity.
Instrument-Level FATCA Status Indicates whether a financial instrument is subject to FATCA, exempt, grandfathered, or substantially modified, always based on official IRS definitions.
Automated Data Feeds Data is delivered via Valordata Feed (VDF) and SIX Flex, ensuring seamless integration into tax systems, internal infrastructures, and compliance platforms.
Cross-Regime Tax Linkage Connects FATCA-related data with other U.S. tax attributes such as 871(m) and 1446(f), providing a complete and consistent compliance framework across regulatory regimes.
PTP Identification and Classification Accurately detects Publicly Traded Partnerships (PTPs) and non-public partnerships, assigning them a clear status: “subject”, “non-subject” or “potentially subject” to withholding under current legislation.
Tax Code Attribution Provides tax codes for both U.S. and non-U.S. partnerships, along with indicators of withholding eligibility and applicability—ensuring consistency in tax calculations.
Access to Regulatory Documents Includes issuance prospectuses and Qualified Notices to support withholding exceptions and provide audit traceability.
Corporate Action Integration Directly links dividend and distribution data from PTPs to withholding calculations and reporting obligations—ensuring accuracy and transparency.
Ongoing Monitoring and Updates Continuously tracks changes in PTP status and legal developments, with recommended quarterly checks to keep information up to date.
Both services minimize manual effort, ensure accurate and automated classification of instruments and entities, and support scalable tax compliance across all types of portfolios and international operations.

Successfully Navigate the 1446(f) Regime. SIX helps brokers, intermediaries, and withholding agents automate the dynamic tracking of PTPs, quickly identify when the 10% withholding applies, and connect that data to relevant U.S. tax attributes. This minimizes risk and ensures full compliance with your tax obligations.
FATCA aims to combat tax evasion by U.S. taxpayers abroad. Section 1446(f) requires a 10% withholding on the sale of interests in publicly traded partnerships (PTPs) by non-residents.
