No HSBC account holders took tax amnesty offers

None of the Irish people identified as the owners of alleged tax dodging accounts at the Swiss branch of HSBC availed of two separate Government tax amnesties which gave them a chance to come clean over the practices.

The situation will be detailed in a 16-page Revenue Commissioners report at the Dáil public accounts committee this morning.

The file was called for by the cross-party group earlier this month after revelations that hundreds of individuals and companies based in Ireland had hidden billions of euro from tax collectors in Swiss banks.
