Since failing to prevent facilitation of tax evasion is now a corporate criminal offence, the banks are v focussed.

But I doubt that's true of many of their clients?

If you believe Zucman et al, 20-30% of ultra-high net worth tax is evaded. So gotta assume there’s a lot of it about.

A critical assumption in @gabriel_zucman’s Hidden Wealth of Nations - percentage of undeclared wealth in Switzerl’d - is unsourced/hardcoded

So where’s it from?

rather astonishing, since all his widely-publicized estimates of tax evasion ($5-6 trillion, etc) derive in large part from this number

I’m not really competent to assess - @phdskat... do you have a view?

It’s true Zucman’s tax evasion $$’s are based partly on an estimate of how much of a limited sample of Swiss undeclared wealth was evaded
