HSBC: Next Offshore Bank Account Target

Posted in Offshore Account Update, UBS / HSBC on April 11, 2011 | Share

Looks like the Department of Justice is at it again!  HSBC is the latest Bank on the chopping block and on April 7, 2011, the DOJ announced that the government has expanded its focus to include undisclosed foreign bank accounts with HSBC. The government has reason to believe that many unnamed taxpayers have been investing with HSBC India through HSBC USA in order to evade taxes and has decided to use the same technique as it used with UBS and served a “John Doe” Summons.

If the Court allows this, the Summons would force HSBC USA to provide the government with bank records identifying more U.S. taxpayers (mostly w/undisclosed offshore bank accounts) that have opened and/or invested with foreign HSBC branch.
  
What does all this mean?

Time to Disclose!  All those US taxpayers with undisclosed bank accounts with HSBC should take advantage of the current IRS Voluntary Disclosure Program.  And they should hurry up now; the program closes on August 31, 2011.

"Kevin E. Thorn and the tax attorneys at Thorn Law Group are exceptional. When I came to them, I had just received a letter from the Department of Justice concerning an undisclosed bank account at a Swiss bank. I thought I was going to go to jail and lose everything I had worked for just because my family and my business are international. Mr. Thorn's knowledge of the tax laws and his skills in presenting my situation to the IRS and Department of Justice proved superior!"
