In Greece they are called “the Borjans list” in Spain it is known as the “Rhineland-list”. It’s a sizable data from Switzerland, the NRW Minister Borjans ankaufte to chase German tax evaders. But of course, refer to the mass of data and instructions on tax cheats from other EU countries. For Greece, for example. To those it is now up to the collar.
“More than 1,000 case files” lead you, “millions for the Greek exchequer” promises the Greek Deputy Finance Minister Tryfon Alexiadis on Sunday night in Dusseldorf. Overall suspicious assets are examined from four billion Swiss francs in more detail by the Greek authorities now – with the help of colleagues from North Rhine Westphalia.

“We pass on our knowledge about it further, such as taxes levied checked holdings and is made Ermitlungsarbeit” explains NRW Finance Minister. One wants so help Greece find out of the crisis. “Maybe the 13th or 14th pension cuts in the country is no longer necessary, though great fortunes can be used consistently to finance the community,” said Borjans. However, the close cooperation of tax authorities in Germany and Greece is only the beginning, he hopes.
“We have shared the information about possible tax evaders with all 27 EU member states. In total, the list includes information about 100 billion Swiss francs, “said Borjans. This corresponds to about 90 billion euros according to current exchange rates. The foreign assets in Switzerland if they were not limited to illicit funds. In a significant proportion of the suspect but hardens so Borjans.
taxman visit mere gesture politics?
The objection, the visit of the Greek tax officials was only symbolic politics, rejected the NRW Finance. “The number of 25 officials will not seem very big, but the technical and organizational assistance that we give to our colleagues, can have a big impact.”
First searches at banks, on the occasion of “Borjans list “have already taken place in Greece, should in any case have many startled by those who could previously rely on the inefficiency of the authorities. In Germany the number of voluntary disclosures had skyrocketed after the purchase of tax-CDs.
