Trying to hide money over there in a “numbered” account would be a really bad idea….;-)
Yes, and not a good idea to discuss on an open forum either 🙂 but in Europe it was and still is a preoccupation of many. I realize that until quite recently, discussion of tax evasion in the US was taboo. In the Europe of latter days “runners” used to collect suitcases of cash for old retired Colonels and the like, who felt robbed by successive European socialist governments ‘exorbitant’ tax policies. Banks of telephones used to line the floors of Monaco apartments, and not furniture or occupants. You’d be surprised at the ‘professional’ advise still given to reduce one’s tax bill in some countries. In case anyone is wondering, I am a fully paid up tax payer 🙂
