davjohns 1 #9 July 4, 2012 Yes. Reporting your offshore holdings in your tax returns every year is a clever way to hide them. The report describes his $3Mil taxes as 'paltry'. Want to guess the political leaning of the writer? Every intelligent investment advisor says you should be diversified in the domestic and international markets. Everyone with significant assets has a Swiss account for various reasons. To claim he is hiding something by openly reporting it is ridiculous. To claim a diversified portfolio is proof of suspicious activity is ridiculous. I'm happy to know the guy's faults, but this is just nasty smear tactics. Let me know when you find a legitimate flaw in the guy. When you throw out stuff like this, it just makes me like him more.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #11 July 4, 2012 Fair point. I shouldn't use the superlative. Not EVERYONE. But a Swiss bank account is very common for people with significant assets. And when you couple that with someone who lived in France and travels, it is hardly a suspicious thing. Then, when you add that it is reported in his tax returns? Come on.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

ChangoLanzao 0 #18 July 4, 2012 Quote Reasoning? Sarcasm? Anyway, the point is that we can never know the reason for the Swiss bank accounts unless we an see the tax returns. There seem to be only two reasons that justify a Swiss bank account: 1. Betting against the dollar, or 2. Avoiding paying your fair share of taxes. These might be "smart" things to do, but that's beside the point. A third possibility, is that he's hiding "dirty money". Even though that's doubtful, we can't know the truth without seeing the tax returns, can we? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davjohns 1 #19 July 4, 2012 There are actually many reasons. I'll be reporting to Belgium in a couple of months. Want to guess where I'll be banking? They have some of the best banking practices in the world. I think anyone who finds this significant already disliked the guy and is trying to find a reason. This is not a legitimate reason, but most people seem to make up their minds without being bothered with facts. I'm not trying to be insulting. I just think this is nothing worth mentioning. If it is the best his opponents can come up with, he must be pretty clean.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

CornishChris 5 #23 July 4, 2012 I am a UK resident but I have business interests off shore. Hence I opened a company and account in the BVI. Swiss didn't make sense personally but the principal is the same. I'm by no means rich but I don't see why I should pay UK tax on income from overseas (apply UK/US comparison here), and I was advised to do this. People pay the least tax they can within the legal framework in which they operate. This is normal. Please step up and declare if you want to pay more tax, if not let others operate within the law to maximise their personal gain and minimise their tax. CJP Gods don't kill people.
