| SWISS BANK SYSTEM |
Switzerland is the world's
largest offshore financial center,
even
ahead of London, New
York or Frankfurt.
The Swiss banking sector has
established its dominant
position
through a long tradition
of political, economic and
financial
stability and some key
principles, one of which is a
Swiss bank secrecy.
|
|
| SWISS BANKING SECRECY |
Banking secrecy is intended to
prevent banks from revealing
the
existence of your account or
disclosing information about
it
without your permission.
Bank secrecy covers all your
business relations with the
bank; it
is not limited in time
and concerns all people who,
working for the bank,
were in
contact with it.
|
|
| LIMITS OF BANK SECRECY |
Swiss bank secrecy is lifted for
criminal cases such as gun
smuggling,
narcotic trafficking,
terrorism, extortion, money
laundering, tax fraud, etc.
Swiss banking secrecy is not
lifted in case of mere tax
evasion,
even upon the request
of a foreign government. Swiss
tax system is based
on the
principle of self-declaration, and
a tax evasion is not
considered
to be a crime.
