In the interview Mr Hartnett is asked about how the agreement was reached, for his response to accusations that it ‘lets fraudsters off’ and what UK residents with Swiss bank accounts – both legitimate ones where tax has been paid and those where tax has been evaded – should do now. The interview also covers the position of non-doms, offshore life bonds and where HMRC will go from here.http://www.tax.org.uk/media_centre/Podcasts/Synopsis/UK-Switzerland+tax+deal+with+HMRCThe Chartered Institute of Taxationhttp://www.tax.org.uk/media_centre/Podcasts/Synopsis/Tax+Agent+StrategyJohn Whiting talks to CIOT President Anthony Thomas about the recent joint CIOT/ATT response to the HMRC Tax Agent Strategy consultation.
