International withholding tax agreements make it possible for persons who are liable to foreign taxation and who have bank accounts in Switzerland, to pay tax whilst protecting their privacy. The Agreement between the Swiss Confederation and the United Kingdom on the Cooperation in the Area of Taxation (IWT-UK) also includes an administrative assistance clause (Article 33). The corresponding Federal Act on International Withholding Tax (IWTA) governs the relevant procedure.
