U.S. - Switzerland
Switzerland and the United States have
signed an agreement to end their long dispute over how to punish banks that
helped Americans evade taxes, banking and government officials said on
Wednesday.
In a conference call with journalists, a
senior Justice Department official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity,
said banks that had helped Americans evade taxes would be required to admit
wrongdoing and pay penalties in exchange for deferred prosecution agreements,
in addition to handing over information on account holders.
United States officials will also gain
access to information about transfers out of Swiss accounts by Americans who
were alarmed by the UBS deal.
Hope is that will encourage additional tax
evaders to take advantage of a voluntary disclosure program conducted by the
Internal Revenue Service, that program has already netted more than $5 billion
as 38,000 tax evaders.
