Anthony Hilton: Avoidance and the risk to private banks
Published: 26 March 2014
Updated: 10:03, 26 March 2014
It has become a standard feature of Budgets that they include a ritual denunciation of those who do not pay their fair share of tax.
Accompanying this usually is the promise of a further crackdown not just on tax evasion but on the complex schemes of tax avoidance which have been developed over the years.
As often with politicians, the rhetoric is rather more impressive than the reality. A couple of years back, George Osborne hailed a deal struck with Switzerland which was intended to flush out those Brits who had hidden their untaxed loot in Swiss bank accounts. The hints from the Chancellor's aides were that this could bring in as much as £8 billion. The reality thus far is that it has yielded barely one-tenth of that and that is probably all there will be.
But the fight goes on and Osborne took the further step last week of insisting that taxpayers in dispute with the Revenue have to pay up first and settle the legal niceties later. Hitherto, if HMRC challenged a scheme on legal grounds there would follow a few years as the case wound its way through the courts and judges reached a decision. Then, if the judges backed HMRC, the defendant had to pay up.
But since the Budget, payment has to be made immediately. Taxpayers can then decide to incur the expense of fighting the case through the courts and, if they do and win, they will then get their money back. Some no doubt will do this; but the chances are that more will see litigation as simply too costly a risk — plus the fact that public opinion is firmly on the side of the Chancellor.
What is less appreciated is the effect all this is having on the private banking industry — for many years a quietly profitable backwater of City activity, but now one which sees its business under threat.
The root of the problem is that many of the wealthy clients were attracted to private banking — not for the banking services or the investment management skills, but for the sector's expertise in what might euphemistically be called tax planning. Private bankers have rarely been sought out as great fund managers but the truth is that the clients did not mind too much because the tax savings more than compensated for shortfalls in investment performance.
But no more — it is not only the UK but the world which has turned against tax avoidance so private bankers have to think hard about how they will appeal to clients. If it is about fund management they have to raise their game. If it is about personal service they have to find bankers who can deliver that, and who will stick around long enough to make it meaningful.
This would appeal to clients because that personal relationship is what is missing in modern banking. But there is a reason for that. It only really works if the bank is small; the personal touch gets lost as it grows.
Meanwhile, their costs are going through the roof. They are affected by a lot of the post-crash financial regulation which falls particularly hard on small businesses — an under-appreciated problem for all the small entrepreurial firms in the City — but they are hit even harder by the new requirements coming in to file client details with various overseas authorities.
The first and biggest of these is a US requirement called Facta, designed to identify Americans who had accounts with non-American financial organisations. It was met with outrage by non-American firms which have been coerced into complying by the threat that if they drag their feet neither they nor anyone connected with them will ever be allowed to do business in the States.
But now it is in place, tax authorities around the world are rather envious. The word is that many are contemplating Facta-style legislation of their own to find out if any of their nationals have money elsewhere.
One leading accountant predicted last week that private bankers might, within a few years, have to report client information to perhaps 30 or 40 different authorities internationally — and each will want something slightly different.
He then expressed doubts about how many of these banks had the IT to cope with the complexity of what they would be asked to do at any sensible cost.
If one problem is soaring costs, the other is finding a way to charge. The world of concealed commissions is not what it was so they have to be more upfront.
But as the focus moves towards fees, the client needs to be convinced his bank is giving him services worth paying for. That can be difficult as the rich tend to stay rich by not parting easily with their money.
They also have to be careful who they sign up. No bank wants to get caught with its client register full of dubious characters whose money is of debatable origin. They did not mind so much when it was likely such stuff would be kept secret but they worry mightily about the damage to their reputation now it is more likely to become public.
None will admit it but many banks are at present engaged in a quiet cull of customers who they think could be an embarrassment in this new transparent world. There are now hundreds if not thousands of footloose clients all with potentially toxic reputations looking for someone to take them on.
So there is no shortage of clients they don't want; their challenge is to find more of those they do want, and to work out a way to meet their needs at an economic cost.
The next few years will show if any have found a way to do it or whether, as the sceptics say, the private banking business model has been broken by the onslaught of regulation, disclosure and technology.

Review quote
In Higher Goals, Theberge effectively ties broader themes of gender and sport to the experiences of the Blades and examines the complex ways in which team members view themselves as women athletes in light of the social pressures surrounding that identity. This makes Higher Goals an ideal read for those interested in sport, women s hockey, and the politics of gender in women s sport. Gender & Society Nancy Theberge s Higher Goals: Women s Ice Hockey and the Politics of Gender does a wonderful job of advancing feminist research in sport one of the main strengths of Higher Goals is Theberge s extensive use of (often lengthy) quotations from interviews and conversations with players during her two-year stay with the team. In the finest tradition of ethnographic research, the subjects voices are permitted to develop into themes which in turn have an interactive relationship with Theberge s feminist theory both informing it and being informed by it Higher Goals is an enlightening piece of feminist research. Resources For Feminist Research An in-depth look at the personalities who have led in the growth of women's hockey. This is not a history book but an intriguing look at the steps taken by a team responsible for creating women's hockey history. This is an outstanding book for anyone interested in an accurate portrayal of the growth and development of women's hockey. It follows the women's hockey program responsible for raising the bar for all others to follow. Margot Page, Niagara University Women s Hockey Coach, former member of the Canadian National Team, and hockey analyst for CBC and TSN television networks A powerful and well-crafted analysis that provides a unique insider s view of the social world of women s ice hockey. Richard S. Gruneau, coauthor of Hockey Night in Canada: Sport, Identities, and Cultural Politics Nancy Theberge provides her readers with a clear view into two seasons in the life of an elite women's hockey team. Her highly readable account documents, in full detail and with great immediacy, the excitement of sport in the lives of young women today. The book provides flashes of recognition at the same time that it furnishes new insights into familiar moments. This solid ethnography is an important addition to the field.

Liberalis, of Brive, France, left his native place to undertake a hidden life as a hermit in the Alps near Embrun. The clergy and people of Embrun came to recognize his great humility and other virtues, which led to his being chosen to become the city's bishop. Liberalis proved to be a most devoted pastor. His body is enshrined in a church of his native city of Brive, in the diocese of Tulle, which for centuries has commemorated him each year on November 21.

NBA Kings, AECOM Set To Present Plans To Commission For Slimmed Down Arena
AECOM execs who are designing the NBA Kings' proposed downtown arena "will present plans" today to a city commission "for a less bulky structure," according to a front-page piece by Tony Bizjak of the SACRAMENTO BEE. The reps "will offer the latest arena and plaza iterations" to Sacramento's Planning & Design Commission at City Hall for its approval." The commission then "will send its recommendations on the design to the City Council for a final review May 13." Architects will be "knocking about 15 feet off the eight-story structure's height, and eliminating most of the building's outward slant of about 20 feet at the top." AECOM Design Principal Rob Rothblatt said that this "gives the arena a more upright posture ... helping it fit better in downtown's tight confines." With the new plans, the building "maintains the see-through look it had when presented publicly in late January." The building also "retains its unique half-block-long front entry, dominated by five glass aircraft hangar doors that can fold upward to create a five-story opening." Architects "made a few other plaza changes, including eliminating a planned sunken 'bosque' or quiet area, and eliminating plans for a permanent grandstand-like structure." Designers said that the changes "only slightly reduce the overall square footage of the building and do not reduce the number of seats, expected to be 17,500." Kings officials "declined to discuss the effect of the changes" on the building's $448M price tag. However, Rothblatt said that architects "have been instructed to keep the budget at its current level." Kings President Chris Granger previously said that the budget "will not top" $448M (SACRAMENTO BEE, 4/10).
Facility Notes
In San Diego, Mark Walker reports members of San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer's staff "sat down" yesterday with Chargers Special Counsel to the President Mark Fabiani for "preliminary talks about a new stadium" for the team. While "no major developments emerged, the meeting signals the city's and Chargers' desire to move stadium negotiations into a new phase." The Chargers "may be ready to talk about" the Qualcomm Stadium site in Mission Valley as the venue for a new stadium. One "emerging scenario suggests building a stadium" adjacent to Qualcomm Stadium, with the team "continuing to play there until the new one is complete" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 4/10).
PEDALING UPHILL: In Phoenix, Parker Leavitt reports plans for a $20M USA BMX HQs and race track in Gilbert "appear to be on hold as officials weigh residents' concerns about noise, traffic and funding against the potential for economic development and tourism." The project "would bring a 4,000-seat arena, museum and public park to 10 acres of town-owned land." USA BMX officials last year "selected Gilbert as the preferred site for its racing headquarters after a nationwide site-selection process, and negotiations on a development agreement have spanned several months" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 4/10).
TWO FOR ONE: In Daytona Beach, Eileen Zaffiro-Kean reported the planned One Daytona mixed-use project "has its first two tenants" in Cobb Theatres and Bass Pro Shops. The two businesses will "anchor the complex in one-of-a-kind modern structures expected to wow visitors." Atlanta-based Jacoby Development is "partnering with International Speedway Corp. on One Daytona" (Daytona Beach NEWS-JOURNAL, 4/9).

Snooki and The Situation Phasing Out Of 'Jersey Shore'
Snooki and The Situation are probably the most recognizable cast members on "Jersey Shore." So, why are producers at 495 Productions phasing them out?
Blame it on the a a a a a alcohol.
Or, the lack there of. Now that Snooki has a bouffant in the oven and The Sitch is getting his 12-steps on, producers are afraid that the show will suck. TMZ is reporting that producers for "Jersey Shore" are phasing out two of their most popular characters. A show insider told the gossip site that the potentially cleaner lifestyles for Snooki and The Situation would make the show "lose its sex-crazed alcohol-fueled edge."
Producers will be limiting the amount of screen time they give to the newly sober cast-members, and instead focus their energies on highlighting other members of the JS Cast. Expect new cast members to enter the fold, producers are currently planning to introduce new Juiceheads to the mix.
Have no fear Shore fans, not a modicum of class will be had this season.

Secret Roland Emmerich Project May Land at Columbia (Exclusive)
He is attached to direct the project, which at this time has no title and the plot is not known.
UPDATE: THR has been informed the project has a working title of Singularity.
Disaster impresario Roland Emmerich has a new project.
Columbia may pre-emptively pick up the Emmerich project, which at this time has no title and the plot is not known. What is known is that it is a spec script written by Emmerich, who is also attached to direct. The project, according to sources, came with a set of terms.
It is no surprise that Columbia is in prime position to pick up the project. The director has a long-standing relationship with the studio going back to the days of Universal Soldier and including Godzilla, The Patriot and 2012. The studio is also releasing Anonymous, Emmerich's period thriller centering on Shakespeare.
While Emmerich didn't pen Anonymous, he tends to write or co-write his big-budget disaster projects and sources speculate that, after Anonymous' more restrained budget, the project is a return to epic scope for the CAA-repped filmmaker.
Columbia had no comment.
Emmerich has recently been mentioned in connection with Universal's adaptation of classic video game Asteroids as well as Foundation, an adaptation of the Isaac Asimov sci-fi book, but insiders say he has yet to choose his next movie.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." ~ C.S. Lewis
Guns Don't Kill People, Governments Do
""During the Idi Amin regime, the Karamojong [tribe] were selected as special targets for genocide. Against Amin's armies, their traditional bows and arrows were futile. So it's understandable why they'd be reluctant to voluntarily lay down their weapons. This time, the pretext for the 'disarmament' of the Karamojong is United Nations gun control. The Ugandan military is trying to round up every last firearm in Karamoja, supposedly for the Karamojong's own good. The procedure is euphemistically called 'forcible disarmament.' It works something like this: The misnamed Uganda People's Defence Force (UPDF) will torture and rape Karamajong, after which some Karamojong might then disclose the location of some hidden guns. Or the army will burn down a village, after which it might find some guns in the ash left behind. If the pastoral tribespeople's bloody history with Amin weren't enough, they don't much have reason to trust the current government of Uganda, either. The current government has repeatedly broken its promises of goods, services, and personal protection for tribespeople who voluntarily disarmed." [link in original text]"

Jesse was a dangerous puzzle: a loving husband and father who kept his "work" separate from his family, though Zee

It is a hidden and has a wonderful selection. There are plenty places to sit and read, very helpful staff and an opportunity to grab a bite and drink.
Mount Bierstadt
Mt. Bierstadt to Mt. Evans via Saw Tooth
Northeast Denver Loop
I liked the floor to ceiling shelves that allowed for many quiet reading nooks. Great selection and nice atmosphere.
This 3-story bookstore is a great place to get away from the 16th Street Mall craziness.
We enjoyed perusing the store and bought some reading material.
The best part is the history - Denver used to have over 13 different railroads coming into the city, and there were railroad tracks in front of this establishment, therefore their foot traffic had...
The tattered cover has the same problem that many American bookstores have: it's not really sure what it wants to be. Amid the bestsellers and various genre sections they sell notebooks, calendars, coffee, boardgames, t-shirts, etc. Making the actual selection of books pretty darn mediocre.
The fiction section has very little diversity and seems to compose primarily works from the...
A bookstore of multiple floors with well trained and competent staff. This must be heaven for everyone loving books. One could spend a whole day here and just scratch the surface of what can be found here. Worth the visit. Definitively.
They actually have several locations in Denver now. The main one in Cherry Creek is huge. Everyone is really nice and will help you find whatever you need. They have a little cafe connected, as well.
I had heard of the Tattered Cover Bookstore for years and finally found it during our recent stay in downtown Denver. It was worth the wait. The selection of books is incredible and there are areas to sit and take it easy in between browsing the bookshelves! It's in a historic building and flyers are available at the entrance to...
A Denver local at the conference I was attending told me to go to the Tattered Cover. I wound up there on a wet afternoon which was perfect. It was busy with people browsing, having lunch at the small cafe, or tutoring for college! I enjoyed soup, tea and half a sandwich at the reasonably priced cafe, then had a...
Came here on recommendation from friend who lived in Denver area years ago. This is one of the best book shops I have ever been on. If you love books and bookstores, this is a must see in Denver. Even met an author who was burning some time there between meetings.
The TC in LoDo is like an extension of our living room. A block from Union Station, on the 16th Street Mall, it is "arguably the finest independent bookstore in America" to quote a famous newspaper. The staff loves books, and has found some of the most obscure works for me. The atmosphere is wonderful, the furnishings invite quiet perusal...

Snowboarding! I need a boarder friend.. It's finally gettin warm enough to play outside!!
A snowboard, the bindings and boots, and of course the snowboarder were all considered when being designed. In order for someone to actually snowboard down a mountain, each of these components must be working together. There will always be a want for a better design so people will always be continuing to research this system.

LOHAS Consumers and Politics
In this election cycle, politicians are debating a variety of pressing issues, and sustainability issues are key among them. Approximately 90% of the general population says they typically vote, as shown in Figure 1, and a plurality (one-third) typically vote for a Democratic candidate, according to The Natural Marketing Institute. Almost the same percentage of consumers tends to vote Republican as those who vote independent (25% and 22%, respectively).
Political activism for environmentalism is a hallmark of the LOHAS lifestyle. LOHAS consumers, the portion of the population that is most interested in sustainability and the earliest adopters of sustainable products, vote heavily on the Democratic side (45%) — more than any other segment. LOHAS consumers are also more likely to vote Independent (26%). Beyond voting, LOHAS consumers also are the most likely to try to influence their elected officials, consistent with LOHAS consumers' influencer activities. As with marketing, politicians would benefit by leveraging LOHAS consumers to not just vote, but campaign on their behalf.
