This note addresses the issues of, and solutions to, offshore tax evasion with a focus on Switzerland. As Part II.A illustrates, Switzerland is uniquely positioned among tax haven countries, making it an ideal paradigm for discussion. Part II.B outlines recent conflicts between US authorities and one of Switzerland's largest banks that have brought offshore tax evasion to front pages of newspapers and the floor of Congress. Part III analyzes the current legal structure governing tax issues between Switzerland and the US. Part IV explores the merits of various responses to the offshore evasion problem. Finally, Part V shows that a bilateral withholding system, which consists of collecting US tax dollars while retaining Swiss banking privacy, is the ideal solution.

The breathtaking view could be somewhere in Florida, or in California, or on any number of tropical islands: pristine white sand, sparkling turquoise waters, coconut palms swaying in the breeze. The sun-drenched landscape is dotted with Spanish-style homes. But this isn't Sarasota or the Bahamas. It's Panama, the S- shaped nation on the Central American isthmus sandwiched between the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.
Much has changed in Panama since Manuel Noriega was deposed in 1989. It's well on its way to becoming another Florida. You see, Panama has attracted plenty of attention over the last several years, not only from the American media praising its virtues but from second-home buyers, retirees and adventurous types seeking opportunities.
