Ron Snyder Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 The article has nothing to do with the heading "swiss annuity vs IRS". Most Swiss annuities are compliant with US tax laws. And since they provide tax-deferred inside buildup, there is no taxable income to disclose to IRS until the contract is surrendered or withdrawals are taken. This article should be deleted since you posted it on another thread already.

Guest VEBAPLAN Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 The man that has been removing the posts can give the details.
Guest VEBAPLAN Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 I am going to Switzerland to learn more about Swiss Annuities, so start thinking of questions.
Guest VEBAPLAN Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Leaving Thursday for Switzerland to study how to use a Swiss Annuity to asset protect homes etc. Was told that if you disclose it is legal in US and is a great way to asset protect things, without using trusts. Also told that they had other great uses. A publisher wants a book on point. Anyone with questions please contine to contact me. So far they were great questions. 516 9385007 lanwalla@aol.com Lance Wallach
Ron Snyder Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 I would be concerned about the advice you receive from a Swiss firm about applicability of US laws (tax, insurance or otherwise) to the purchase of Swiss annuities. The information then can give you will likely be correct for Swiss residents, but may or may not be correct for US residents. Moreover, since so-called "Swiss annuities" are a form of variable annuities that provide a choice of index and a choice of currency, they are securities under US law. It is my understanding that recommending them to US residents would likely violate US securities laws. While writing a book in general terms is not a "recommendation" per se, having people contact you so that you can guide them through the process is likely to violate US securities laws. Be careful. You may come back from Switzerland unable to discuss what you have learned. You are highly focused on getting on IRS's bad side. The SEC is every bit as tough.
Guest VEBAPLAN Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 You are correct on all counts. Need the info for a book. Not selling anything. They already told me this, as did my atty. but as always thanks for the good advise Need some a watch or another swiss army knife?
Guest VEBAPLAN Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Back with great suff for the new book for Wiley and Bisk, maybe they will give members a discount, mention my name to buy two but pay for three. That is what some of you sell to your clients. lol Ron anything illegal about me buying a lot of Swiss Francs as a hedge agains the Obama Dollar, sure to be a great investment.

Guest VEBAPLAN Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Just a little more help from an atty needed, thanks
Guest VEBAPLAN Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Was just told about raid yesterday. Anyone have knowledge about IRS raid on Benestar?
Guest VEBAPLAN Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Nothing about it on their webpage Benestar.
david rigby Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I was told IRS took all computers etc Lance, this is nothing more than a rumor, which is not useful to anyone. If you have additional details or sources of information, please post them. Thank you. I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.
goldtpa Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 More importantly, stop asking the same question on multiple threads.
GMK Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Lance, this is nothing more than a rumor, which is not useful to anyone. Au contraire, Mr. Rigby. It is greatly useful to one person. The rumor (I wonder who started it?) is Mr. Wallach's excuse for resurrecting his tiresome old posts, which (bottom line:) serve as a cover for him to advertise here for free. Boo. Hiss. Seriously (not), since Lance is THE expert in this field, having never lost a case, I'd expect him to have the answers about the "raid on Benestar." Well, as long as he asked, "someone" told me that the "raid" was nothing more than a visit to pick up some extra computers for the SEC. Now, I'm going back to ignoring him and using the [Report!] button.
Guest VEBAPLAN Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 now you scammers cant sell the abusive plan anymore. go on the net and find a new scam to sell.
