Indeed people should know better. That being said, there is a surprising number of people who still believe the "swiss myth" that offshore accounts are secret and out of the reach of tax authorities.
 
I make it a point to pay my taxes every year...it's good to pay taxes.
 
the primordial problem is less with "paying" tax but moreso with what is disclosed by reporting income... think loss of family, personal and educational preferences that depend on not exceeding certain tax brackets etc., ... the reporting part brings moretrouble to people than the paying part, to be totally honest
 
Well, there are other reasons than tax to file for an offshore company.. one among many are privacy and anonymity. So there are offshore jurisdictions that have more simple regulations in regards to financial services, Adult, Gambling and so on compared to onshore countries. The need for offshore companies will always be there..it's just how you set it all up.
