The OECD Forum on Tax Administration (FTA) today concluded its Tenth Meeting in Beijing, the People’s Republic of China. The OECD says delivering on the OECD/G20 international tax agenda, through implementation of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Project and the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) for the automatic exchange of financial account information, took centre stage when the heads of tax administrations met over the last two days. Reportedly, the participants committed to continued international co-operation in order to tackle offshore tax evasion and work towards a fairer and more transparent international tax system.
The FTA is the leading international body concerned with tax administration, bringing together the heads of tax administrations from OECD countries, members of the G20 and other emerging economies.
