Ahh - Facta. Only applies to US citizens. terrible law may by the US and forced upon the world. Still that info goes to IRS, not NSA so they can enforce their draconian world wide income tax on all Us citizens (while they let corporates wrought the system).

My conspiracy claim refered to suggestions IRD would give info to NSA. Completely agree with your comments. The big data that Xero holds (and MYOB online) would be extremely valuable for doing targeted audits.

Too speed up investigations and prosecution, Govt depts are well resourced. But monkeys are working for them... it takes time hence all these requests.

Skid is exaggerating a little in that applies to US citizens and other U.S. taxpayers. You'll probably know if it applies to you, even if you're not happy about it. There has been an increase in people trying to get rid of US citizenship.

I was exaggerating in terms of the norm,but that was no exaggeration in terms of those who find they are ''accidental US citizens for tax purposes''
http://money.cnn.com/2014/12/15/pf/a...can-expat-tax/
I met an american in Thailand who was pretty upset about the whole thing--(not sure if he was accidental,but the point is still the same)
I guess theres a bit of conspiracy theory in all of us at times--After watching ''The Imitation Game'' it certainly puts that sort of thing in perspective--It was a great flick that more or less told the story of a true event that certainly would have gone down as a conspiracy theory----If it wasnt true.
BUT-my NSA mention was about the wiretapping of Europeon leaders---The IRD actually gives the info to the IRS (the US taxman)--which conveniently bypasses banks having to break privacy laws(they give the info to IRS and IRS flaunts the privacy laws.
(didnt mean to give the impression that this happens to normal Kiwis that dont have any afilliation with the USA accidental or otherwise)--You would be amazed how easy it is for even Kiwis to become ''tainted'' by this though.
Ive heard stories of an organization with a volunteer treasurer (who was from America from way back)who were subject to an audit involving US taxman because of this law. )

IRD also asked real estate agencies for similar data.

didn't know that. I assume that is to capture those using different entity names that they didn't pick up via the land transfer office.
