“Federal courts in six states have allowed the Internal Revenue Service to issue summonses to U.S. banks at the request of the Norwegian government, and the banks may now have to give up information on people who used some kinds of credit and debit cards. The development signals increasing cooperation between governments to stop offshore tax evasion. The U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act may lead to dozens of agreements between countries to exchange information on bank accounts. The development is significant because the U.S. government went to federal court in eight states at Norway (NOUE)’s request.”
