| Liechtenstein Offers Germany Further Cooperation In Tax Matters |
by Ulrika Lomas, Tax-News.com, Brussels
Friday, January 08, 2010
Determined to demonstrate its willingness to cooperate fully in tax matters,
Liechtenstein has offered to negotiate an agreement with Germany, which will
lead to uncovering of undeclared accounts held by German taxpayers in the principality.
According to Liechtenstein’s Prime Minister Klaus Tschütscher, the
government is eager to support Germany in its bid to recover undeclared taxes.
Liechtenstein has already concluded such an agreement with the UK. Under the
terms of the agreement, Britons have until 2015 to declare any accounts held
in Liechtenstein to the UK tax authorities.
Although these individuals are still required to pay back any taxes owed, together
with a fine, the conditions for doing so are much more favourable as a result
of the agreement, Tschütscher emphasized. Alternatively, anyone seeking
to withdraw their money from Liechtenstein instead is also able to do so, he
continued.
Prime Minister Tschütscher is keen to conclude such an agreement with
Germany, although he has also proposed the idea of levying a withholding tax
as an alternative. The taxes would then be returned to Germany, he confirmed.
