The thing about swiss accounts is that as a foreigner you are not required to show how you earned the money.
The Italian mob and various other organised criminal syndicates therefor love them.
Quote:You seem to be intentionally evading my point. The Swiss are not robbing Germany of 2B euros, as you suggest. Germans are voluntarily sending money to Swiss accounts in lieu of paying German taxes. This is simply a German issue.
It becomes a Swiss issue when the Swiss banks and authorities refuse to cooperate with the German authorities.
Why do you rephrase the word taxevasion into something that doesn`T sound like a crime.
Quote:TGAC, I am by no means saying what German businesses/individuals are doing relative to tax obligations is right or wrong. I am only simply trying to get you to realize that the Swiss aren't accountable.
They are very well accountable for their own laws which they put in place, and especialy for keeping them in place when those laws benefit friminals in other countries.
