Danish and Swiss authorities have come to an agreement obligating Switzerland to help nab tax fraudsters


National tax authority SKAT has secured an agreement that compels its Swiss counterpart to share information about Danes suspected of tax fraud.


Tax Minister Kristian Jensen said the deal would end the secretive, closed nature of the Swiss banking industry.


He expected the new deal to constitute a ‘golden opportunity’ worth at least 100 million kroner for Denmark.


Department office head Susanne Reinholdt was pleased with the deal, saying many people from this country had unreported money in Swiss bank accounts.


The deal would make it easier for SKAT to find money in foreign accounts by ensuring the availability of information that previously was not attainable, she added.


Reinholdt confirmed that this included money people were trying to hide away in Switzerland.
