| A new criminal offence should be introduced to clamp down on tax evasion, a senior figure in Britain's finance ministry said on Sunday in the wake of a scandal surrounding HSBC.
Allegations that HSBC's Swiss private bank helped clients evade tax has pushed the issue to the fore of political debate in Britain less than three months before a national election.
Danny Alexander, Chief Secretary to the Treasury and a member of junior coalition partner the Liberal Democrats, said the new offence of corporate failure to prevent economic crime would include aiding or facilitating tax evasion. Those who help others commit tax evasion will face the same financial penalty as the evaders themselves.
