AS per OECD, cooperation between
tax administrations
is critical in the fight against tax evasion. A key aspect of that co-operation
is exchange of information between jurisdictions. Political interest has
increasingly focused on the opportunities provided by automatic exchange
of information. In 2013, the G20 endorsed automatic exchange as the expected
new standard, and asked the OECD to work with countries toward the development
of this new multilateral standard.
Pascal Saint-Amans, director of the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration
(CTPA), and Achim Pross, head of the Centre’s international co-operation
division, will present the result of that work during a briefing for the
press on Thursday at the OECD. The new
Common Reporting Standard will be presented for endorsement to G20 Ministers
of finance and heads of central banks during a ministerial-level meeting
in Sydney, Australia on 22-23 February.
