HSBC to close Jersey accounts over tax avoidance
HSBC is closing scores of accounts in Jersey held by people who do not live on the island.
The move is part of a push by UK banks to check the identity and addresses of thousands of their customers across the Channel Islands.
The review comes amid pressure on banks to ensure that offshore accounts are not being used to hide money from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
