[CCWG-ACCT] Fwd: [Acct-Legal] Memo - Responses to Rafael Pérez Galindo's Questions (concerning Unincorporated Associations)

[León Felipe Sánchez Ambía]

Dear all, 

Please find attached a memo from Counsel in reply to questions posed by Rafael Pérez Galindo. 

This feeds into the very fruitful discussion we have been having on the UAs issue in relation to GAC and it’s members.

In short:

1.- There is no obligation on filing a statement of unincorporated association but it is, however, advised.

2.- The unincorporated association would be subject to taxation only if it had income or assets.

3.- An unincorporated association does not have the obligation to report or otherwise demonstrate its active status to any regulator or other body.

I hope you find this information useful.

Best regards,


León
