UBS Offshore Swiss Account Voluntary Disclosure Enters Endgame

The Swiss Parliament has decided to allow UBS to turn over the names of its Swiss bank account customers to the IRS. This means that the names of 4,450 UBS customers who are suspected of committing tax fraud, and FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Reports, TDF 90-22.1) violations will be turned over to the IRS by the August deadline. For a recap of the UBS John Doe summons litigation, and the subsequent twists and turns through the Swiss court system look here and here.

For owners of UBS Swiss bank accounts this may be the last chance to make a voluntary disclosure to the IRS, thereby greatly reducing the chances of criminal tax evasion, tax fraud, and willful non-filing of FBARs charges being filed. Making a voluntary disclosure at this point after the tax amnesty deadline has passed will not by itself eliminate harsh civil tax penalties, but is one step in the right direction.

Once the IRS has received an individual’s name from UBS it will be too late to make a voluntary disclosure, and a criminal tax investigation is almost a sure thing.

If you have a foreign bank account at UBS, a Swiss bank account anywhere else, or a foreign bank account anywhere in the world, and would like to learn more about your options contact the tax lawyers at Brager Tax Law Group, A P.C.
