Growing Concern about International Banking Compliance
The Internet and instant global communications have made international banking very easy. A business person can sit comfortably in his home and deal online with a bank anywhere in the world. Some unscrupulous promoters even advertised the “tax-free” benefits of using foreign banks, which is both wrong and criminal. Recently, Congress and the IRS have taken steps to end abuses. The IRS is actively reminding taxpayers of their filing responsibilities under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (FATCA) up to and including criminal legal prosecution efforts.
The IRS also reopened its voluntary offshore disclosure program. In all cases, the assistance of a tax professional is recommended as individual situations vary.
