tax evasion with epassporte?

I live outside the US and I'm thinking about getting a visa electron and receiving all my payments over epassporte to save the cheque-cashing fees.

Now I wondered that if I do this, there will be no transactions in my wire bank account whatsoever... No tax officer would be able to track my income and I'd still be able to buy anything via the electron, is that correct?

Of course I'll still declare all my income, but theoretically, I wouldn't have to and no one would be aware, right?

Depends what country you are in. But mostly the tax officers watch incoming ATM transaction, and purchases through electronic cards. Most nations have advanced data-mining techniques, so if the epassporte card is in your name you will get a knock at the door sooner or later. I can't offer much advice beyond that, it really depends on your country, but there are ways to get pseudo name 'visa' prepaid type cards (including epassporte) that could help you bring money into the country with no problems. Of course if the money is alot, you are going to have to be accountable for it sooner or later when you go to make a significant purchase (car, house).

You are ok unless epassporte gets audited and the IRS turns over your info to your government, which happens all the time.

Epass isnt in the US as far as I know - or at least the banking records.

Its based in Curacao and I dont think the banks like their records audited by the US IRS

Of course I dont make enough profit to have to worry about such things

Epassporte dosen't have to be. They use a Visa Electron, which is processed in the US. A few years ago the IRS got access to records of all 'offshore' Visa accounts because they were being processed in the US even though they are tied to accounts outside of the US. Not declaring income in the US is a risky game, people do go to jail for that sort of thing.

If you are living in a high-tax regime and pulling funds into your country and not declaring this income - it's problematical.

If you happen to live in the UK , it's even more problematical cos the IR just won a concession via OECD whereby they can now "capture" residents pulling external funding into the UK and have obtained "rights" to access a fair amount of data. Of course, they were very pleased with this and little doubts other EU countries will shortly be joining that bandwagon.

As regards Visa and the US - can't say for epass in particular, but the US does not have rights of access to any offshore facilities. Their powers stopped at Visa Miami as far as the Caribbean is concerned. Again, can't say for epass, but no offshore bank will issue details of cardholders. It's illegal.

Gotta say tho... it's better to remain "legal" in the country you reside, - else move out if you don't like their tax laws.

PS.. that last para on moving out don't apply to US folks - they are captured either way.

Epassporte is offshore, I don't believe the IRS has any jurisdiction over them.

log into your epassporte and see your transactions - you'll see a detailed list of your withdrawals including the location of the ATMs, do you think that your local
'IRS' can not get that info if they want to?

if you wanna do illegal banking i know some offshore banks that'll be more than happy to help you. i know some lawyers that will set you up with third world shell companies too. only thing, to open an account with any of these institutions; one of the requirements is a minimum balance of no less than 2.5 million dollars.

they don't have my password

no really, that's what I'm wondering... does VISA give out information about withdrawals to local tax agencies?

You are dead right, they dont, and it has nothing to do with Visa.

If you were drawing out 1000's a week form an offshore source then I'm sure they would catch onto you at some stage..

But for the most part, a couple hundred a week isnt going to put you in the shit.
