See: EU's Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive

The deadline for the requirement to announce offshore income coincided with the initial Brexit deadline. See also: https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/brexit-news-is-the-anti-tax-avoidance-directive-the-reason-the-rich-31946/

tax avoidance in UK isn't new, the beatles taxman was complaining about that, the rich often get their money out of there. brexit had nothing new there

Yes. But it was going to be illegal to avoid reporting on offshore accounts, whereas this avoidance was legal previously.

already was problem is no enforcement

EU won't do that. It's run by goldman sachs. Another reason people are so anti-EU is they were pushing for austerity to pay for the debts from the 2008 recession. Rather than raising taxes on the rich. Neoliberals never want to tax the rich. Brexit by itself is a leftwing economic move. Of course Boris Johnson then kept all the same policies with the typical politician betrayal.
