Pick a dictator, almost any dictator - Cuba's Fulgencio Batista, the Philippines' Ferdinand Marcos, Haiti's Papa and Baby Doc Duvalier, the Shah of Iran, Central African Republic Emperor Jean-BÉdel Bokassa - and they all have this in common: they allegedly stashed their loot in secret, numbered accounts in Swiss banks, safely guarded by the so-called Gnomes of Zurich. This association - of bank secrecy and crime - has been fed into the public's imagination by dozens of books and movies. It's a reputation that rankles the Swiss, who have a more benevolent view of their commitment to privacy - one that happens to extend to tax privacy. Don't ask, because we won't tell.
But the dramatic federal investigation of Switzerland's UBS has blown the lid off bank secrecy - and revealed how Swiss banks abet tax evasion on a far more widespread, if more banal, level. Over the past two decades, these secret banking services have been peddled progressively downmarket - first to the lesser-known fabulously wealthy, then to just the wealthy; more recently, private bankers have been tripping over themselves soliciting business from doctors, lawyers and other folks who are what the biz generally calls "high net worth" individuals. "The IRS has been concerned for decades that a combination of a global economy, the Internet, offshore banking, was really going to take offshore tax evasion from the old so-called 'gentlemen's sport' to tax evasion for the masses," says Mark Matthews, a former deputy IRS commissioner and now a tax attorney with Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.
amwajmovers on 22 Nov 17The first and most important step is to know if the move is going to be done by yourselves or you are going to hire a company. (We advise you to read the other post of our blog to decide) although we recommend you to choose an expert company in moving. 2- Even if you choose to hire a moving company in Dubai, you can consider several options to make a cheaper move. For example, if you pack the boxes yourself with your belongings always comes cheaper. 3- You can buy the boxes in specialized places, ask them to the same moving company that you have contracted or to request them in some store or supermarket. That yes, that always the boxes are clean and are enough resistant to support the weight. 4- Make a selection of the things you have and leave "behind" those that have been unused for some time. Sell them, give them, give them … it's a quick way to "clean up" and organize yourself much better in the new home, and why not, feel better about yourself. 5- Now it's the turn of the furniture. Talk to the removal company to see if it pays to pay for the furniture removal and assembly service, or on the contrary, it is better for you to do it economically. 6- When arriving at the new house, the most important thing so that everything goes on wheels, is the order. As the boxes are already labeled, all you have to do is place them each in your room. Once they are each in its place, our advice is to unpack them by order and per stay. For example, if you start in the bedroom, until it is not all or almost everything, do not go to the next one. We hope that with these tips your move goes like silk. You always have the option of solving any doubts you may have with the Moving Company in Dubai.
