IRS’s New Amnesty Program for Undisclosed Offshore Account Holders Comes at a Critical Time: Basler Kantonalbank Turns Over U.S. Client Data

The IRS reported that eight banks, including the Swiss bank Basler Kantonalbank, turned over U.S. client data on taxpayers suspected of tax evasion on January 30, 2012. This does not put an end to the negotiations between the U.S. and Switzerland; three more banks are still expected to turn over client data and a total of 11 banks, also including Basler Kantonalbank, are expected to pay heavy fines.
