Mr Thompson has relevant capital of GBP 3,128,479. His tax rate according to the formula is 21%. 
Thus he has to pay a total tax burden of GBP 656,981. Penalties and late payment interest are not 
owed under this agreement. As was shown 2.4.3, under normal disclosure, Mr Thompson would face a 
tax burden of GBP 1,855,668 or 64.8% of the total asset. Thus the Swiss-UK tax agreement would be 
cheaper for him. 
3.5.3 Case3 
Case 3 is the case of Mr Baker introduced in 2.4.4. Due to his address in the UK, and since he had a 
bank account at a Swiss paying agent on the relevant dates, he has to pay the one-off deduction or opt 
for voluntary disclosure. Table 13 shows the development of Mr Baker’s account balance as well as 
the final tax burden formulas calculated us 
ing the formula.
