Britain Will Take in Billions of Pounds from Taxes on Swiss Bank Accounts
August 25th, 2011Via: BBC:
A UK government minister has defended a deal with the Swiss that could capture tax of up to £5bn but keep bank account holders’ identities secret.
Undeclared money held by UK taxpayers in Swiss accounts will be taxed for the first time, at up to 34% of the total.
Treasury minister David Gauke said the deal was historic, with no chance of the Swiss abandoning tax secrecy altogether.
