If you have undeclared UK tax liabilities you have two choices: to wait until your turn comes (and it will come) or to get in first with a disclosure of relevant income and gains.  If you are going to disclose, it clearly makes sense to take advantage of the very generous terms of the Liechtenstein Disclosure Facility.
