Swiss Court Says No to US Request for Bank Data in Tax Evasion Case

April 12, 2012

Switzerland’s Federal Administrative Court ruled that the tax office cannot release Credit Suisse bank data to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS requested administrative assistance under the 1996 U.S.-Swiss Double Tax Treaty.

The Court said:

“Administrative assistance shall not be granted for presumed tax evasion, even if high amounts are at stake.”

“The mere failure to declare a bank account may be qualified — at the utmost — as a tax evasion, which is not subject to administrative assistance.”

Tax fraud is illegal but tax evasion is not according to Switzerland’s interpretation of the Treaty. Additionally, the IRS request did not include the account holder’s name.

The ruling cannot be appealed.

U.S. District Judge Issues Tentative Opinion Rejecting Olenicoff’s Lawsuit Against UBS

April 11, 2012

U.S. District Judge Andrew Guilford in Santa Ana, California issued a “tentative” opinion rejecting Olenicoff’s lawsuit against Swiss bank, UBS.

Olenicoff, who pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns and failing to report nearly $200 million in offshore bank accounts, claimed UBS committed fraud by not telling him he owed U.S. taxes.

“Olenicoff cannot prove that UBS committed any wrongful act without running headlong into his own admission of criminal guilt,” Guilford wrote. “Olenicoff’s claim that he justifiably relied on UBS tax advice is entirely inconsistent with his plea agreement.”
