Answering Your Questions About The Irs Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program
Why were these wealthy citizens giving up their citizenship? The answer is simple. U.S. citizens are taxed on the basis of citizenship and not on residence; which means any income earned in the U.S. or abroad is taxable. So, even if the majority of their income was earned abroad, these citizens were still obligated to pay U.S. taxes on their entire earnings. Many of these wealthy Americans were giving up their citizenship, effectively ending their tax obligations to the United States. Although the right to expatriate and acquire a passport from another country has been repeatedly affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court, this did not stop this legislative attempt to squeeze every ounce of tax "blood" out of departing citizens who chose this extreme option.

Managing an offshore bank account from inside the U.S. is not just stupid, it's a death wish. In case you don't watch the news, these government guys are very, very serious about catching people just like you and making examples of you.

First, put out of your mind the idea that "offshore" means somewhere where you can sit on a shore. Islands with crystal blue waters are not high on my list of offshore jurisdictions. If you're an America, anywhere out of the United States is an offshore jurisdiction. Think Hong Kong, Singapore, Chile, and so on. While it is also associated with offshore banking, Switzerland is no longer available to Americans, thanks to IRS crackdowns there that have led most banks to shun US citizens.

James entered into a verbal agreement to help PW with the transfer of this money to an off-shore account in the UK. Several possible banks were discussed, and we had a choice in this selection, but for some reason the final choice was made by PW and it was the Clydesdale Bank. He further suggested we get in touch with a Mr. PC, the operations manager, who would help us to open the account. This, of course, was fine with us. The bottom line was that we had no idea how to conduct business with an offshore banks. PW knew this and he had to have control, as revealed in the next paragraph.

Running the country is up to us. Our businesses keep the country going. Our businesses supply people with jobs. We go to work and provide all sorts of products and services to ourselves. We pay for everything from roads, to schools, to the very government itself. We pay the president!

A web site set up to collect money for well known disasters like Hurricane Katrina or the earthquake that hit India / Pakistan . Of course the money does not go to the good causes that it is meant to go to but goes straight into the Phisher's pocket.
