全世界最中立的国家瑞士,也是抵挡不住IRS的火力,尤其是背後白宫主人 全力支持.UBS共付了780 million和解金给美国政府. 18,000人自动赔款申报,平均二十万美金的补税和罚金.免去一场牢灾. http://www.accountingtoday.com/news/IRS-Withdraws-UBS-Summons-56329-1.html The U.S. and Swiss governments struck an agreement in August 2009 for UBS to provide the identities of 4,450 U.S. account holders at the bank (see UBS to Disclose 4,450 Bank Account Names). The IRS had been seeking the names of 52,000 accounts of suspects through John Doe summonses. Under the agreement, the IRS would withdraw the remaining John Doe summonses on or after Jan. 1, 2010, once it had received the identities behind 10,000 UBS accounts. Those names could come from the Swiss government, UBS, or a voluntary disclosure program that the IRS offered to taxpayers last year. They would also include the 250 to 300 names that UBS turned over in February 2009 as part of a deferred prosecution agreement under which the bank agreed to pay $780 million to the Justice Department. As part of the August 2009 agreement, the IRS has received approximately 4,000 UBS treaty-request accounts so far, according to Shulman. “We will get even more after the remaining account-holder appeals have been decided by the Swiss Federal Administrative Court,” he added. “These UBS treaty request account holders face a full-blown audit — and potentially more, depending on the circumstances — unless they came in through the voluntary disclosure program first.” Approximately 15,000 taxpayers voluntarily disclosed their accounts at UBS and other foreign banks as part of the IRS’s voluntary disclosure program “And these voluntary disclosures continue,” Shulman added. “Since the special program closed, we have received an additional 3,000 voluntary disclosures from individuals with bank accounts from around the world. This is a significant development to get this many people — now over 18,000 individuals and counting — back into our tax system.” He noted that many of the voluntary disclosure cases involve significant amounts of previously unpaid taxes. “Account sizes and taxes vary considerably from case to case, but the closed cases so far have averaged more than $200,000 in tax collections per case, which includes back taxes, interest and penalties,” he said. The IRS has taken additional steps to crack down on offshore tax avoidance. The agency has renamed and reshaped its large corporate division into the Large Business and International Division in order to further emphasize and specialize its international and offshore banking efforts, Shulman noted. The U.S. also continues to work closely with other governments through the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Shulman said the IRS has also been “scouring the vast quantity of data” it has received from the voluntary disclosure program and other sources. The IRS is doing data mining on the information and plans to do more to supplement and corroborate prior leads, as well as develop new leads, involving numerous banks, advisors and promoters from around the world. “And this remains just the start,” said Shulman. “As I have said from the beginning, this has never been about one bank or one country. We’ve produced results and will continue to produce results.” He emphasized that combating international tax evasion has been a top priority. “We have additional cases and banks in our sights right now,” he added. “This issue is not going away, and those who try to skirt U.S. tax laws by hiding assets and income offshore, and the banks and advisors who help them do it, will find themselves increasingly at risk due to our efforts in this area.” 国库是进帐了不少,但就像COD 7每次玩完一回合时的固定台词 "The war just began". 下一家银行会是谁? IRS又不是吃素的,怎麽可能没去找瑞士拿资料? -- Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil --
