There is a new income disclosure initiative that is on in the United States of America. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) calls it the 2011 Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiative (OVDI). Failure to disclose assets offshore before August 31, 2011 will attract severe penalties. Participants must pay back-taxes and interest for up to eight years as well as become liable for paying accuracy-related and / or delinquency penalties.
