The operation of return of capital hidden abroad proceeds quietly: only a thousand questions in the first three months of operation of the Act voluntary disclosure , in Il Sole 24 Ore . A disappointing picture for the government, which hopes in revenue billionaires for public coffers . Now to complicate things you put well a bank: Ethical Bank Wednesday officially announced that he does not want you as a customer who reports within national borders money held in current or former tax haven .

The board of directors of the institute chaired by Ugo Biggeri has established fact that the bank will not acquire new customers “should the funding behind the opening a report and / or the execution of a transaction could consist of funds subject to procedures of “voluntary disclosure” or other comparable case, sometimes the regularization by the taxpayer of capital held abroad and not declared “. Translated: we do not want to deposit money “ gray “, which could be the result of evasion. “Since its inception, 16 years ago – said in a note Institute – Ethical Bank has always refrained from acquiring new customers and strengthen the volumes of the different riding tax shields approved by the governments in office, from time to time through more or less winking against tax evaders. “

The Bank recognizes how the law n.186 passed last December 15 which defines the measures for the voluntary disclosure “does not qualify as a real tax shield”, but, precise Biggeri, “we considered consistent with the mission of Banca Etica and its commitment to a responsible use and transparent of the money the choice not to accept even in this case the capital that will return to Italy after an attempt to hiding abroad. “

For existing customers, operators are required to pay the attention to cases where they observe that the funds were subject to procedures for voluntary cooperation, “applying in such cases enhanced due diligence measures “.
