The Double Taxation Convention has been in force since 18 December 2009, replacing an earlier convention which had been in force since 1969.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>Since their entry into force each of these agreements has been a matter of public record.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>It is the responsibility of HMRC to determine the appropriate nature and scope of any response to information received under the provisions of a relevant double taxation convention.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>Ministers are not made aware of individual cases due to taxpayer confidentiality. At no point were ministers made aware by HMRC of any suggestion of wrong doing by HSBC itself.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>On receipt of the data referred to, a project team was immediately established, led by the then Directors of Risk &amp; Intelligence Service, Criminal Investigations and Specialist Investigations. The then Director\u2014General was the senior responsible officer for the governance of the project.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>The data was cleansed, reducing the 6,800 entities referred to in the data to around 3,600 identified individuals with a potential UK connection. Further analysis confirmed that over 3,100 of these individuals could be traced. Following risk assessment, HMRC adopted a range of approaches to ensure that all of those individuals were appropriately challenged over their UK tax compliance. More than £135 million has been recovered to date.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The purpose of the UK Swiss tax cooperation agreement is to secure the UK tax compliance of those UK residents holding accounts in Switzerland, through a combination of tax deductions at source and the release of detailed account information.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>The groundbreaking agreement introduced by this Government has secured over £1.2 billion, with more to come. This is money coming in to the UK exchequer from a jurisdiction previously beyond our reach and clearly demonstrates how this Government have supported HMRC\u2019s determined approach in tackling tax evasion.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>This deal has secured £1.2bn in tax for the Exchequer that we would not have otherwise received. The declaration does not prevent anyone from providing information to HMRC voluntarily or via a third party, and would not have prevented HMRC from receiving the data from Mr Falciani or any other whistleblower.<\/p><p> <\/p>"}
