Number of Amerikans giving up passports jumps sixfold as tougher rules loom!

on . Posted in Patriot News Network

ZURICH, Switzerland (PNN) - August 9, 2013 - Amerikans renouncing Fascist Police States of Amerika citizenship surged sixfold in the second quarter from a year earlier as the government prepares to introduce tougher asset disclosure rules.

Expatriates giving up their nationality at FPSA embassies climbed to 1,131 in the three months through June from 189 in the year-earlier period, according to Federal Register figures published today. That brought the first-half total to 1,810 compared with 235 for the whole of 2008.

The FPSA, the only nation in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development that taxes citizens wherever they live, is searching for people who lawfully avoid taxes in offshore centers, including Switzerland, as the fascist outlaw terrorist government tries to curb the budget deficit. Shunned by Swiss and German banks and facing tougher asset-disclosure rules under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, more of the estimated 6 million Amerikans living overseas are weighing the cost to their freedom of holding a FPSA passport.

“With the looming deadline for Fatca, more and more (FPSA) citizens are becoming aware that they have (FPSA) tax reporting obligations,” said Matthew Ledvina, a FPSA tax lawyer at Anaford AG in Zurich. “Once aware, they decide to renounce their (FPSA) citizenship.”

Fatca requires foreign financial institutions to report to the Internal Revenue Service information about financial accounts held by FPSA taxpayers, or held by foreign entities in which FPSA taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest. It was estimated to generate $8.7 billion over 10 years, according to the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation.

The 2010 Fatca law requires banks to withhold 30% from “certain (FPSA)-connected payments” to some accounts of Amerikan clients who don’t disclose enough information to the IRS. While banks can sign agreements to report to the IRS individually, many are precluded from doing so by privacy laws in their jurisdictions.

The Amerikan Gestapo Department of the Treasury division last month announced that the IRS will delay the start of Fatca by six months until July 1, 2014, to give foreign banks time to comply with the law. The extension of the act follows a previous one-year delay announced in 2011.

Financial institutions including Canada’s Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) and Allianz SE of Germany have expressed concerns that Fatca is too complex.

The latest delay comes after the Swiss government agreed in February to simplifications that will help the country’s banks implement Fatca.

“The (terrorist Fascist Police States of Amerika) wishes to ensure that all income earned worldwide by (FPSA) taxpayers on accounts held abroad can be taxed by the (Fascist Police States of Amerika),” the Swiss government said on April 10.

Since 2011, Amerikans, who disclose their non-FPSA bank accounts to the IRS, must file the more expansive 8938 form that asks for all foreign financial assets, including insurance contracts, loans and shareholdings in non-FPSA companies.

Failure to file the 8938 form can result in a fine of as much as $50,000. Clients can also be penalized half the amount in an undeclared foreign bank account under the Banks Secrecy Act of 1970.

The implementation of Fatca from July next year comes after UBS, Switzerland’s largest bank, paid a $780 million penalty in 2009 and handed over data on about 4,700 accounts to settle a tax-evasion dispute with the FPSA. Whistleblower Bradley Birkenfeld was sentenced to 40 months in a FPSA prison in 2009 after informing the government and Senate about his Amerikan clients at the Geneva branch of Zurich-based UBS AG.

The additional compliance costs for companies to ensure that Amerikans they hire are filing the correct FPSA tax returns and asset-declaration forms are at least $5,000 per person, said Ledvina.

For individuals, the costs are also rising. Getting a mortgage or acquiring life insurance is becoming almost impossible for Amerikan citizens living overseas, Ledvina said.

“With increased (FPSA) tax reporting, (FPSA) accounting costs alone are around $2,000 per year for a (FPSA) citizen (living) abroad,” the tax lawyer said. “Adding factors, such as difficulty in finding a bank to accept a (FPSA) citizen as a client, it is difficult to justify keeping the (FPSA) citizenship for those who (live) permanently abroad.”
