Event Synopsis:

In July 2014, a new standard for automatic exchange and disclosure of financial information was released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This document, The Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters, includes the Common Reporting and Due Diligence Standard (CRS) which will delineate the scope and nature of information that will be shared between countries, such as account information of individuals, trusts, and foundations.

In October, 2014, 51 countries signed a Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information. The Multilateral Agreement is based upon the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters. It is unclear how the disclosures and exchange will integrate with existing bi-lateral arrangements such as FATCA.

In this CLE course, a panel of speakers assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss OECD Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters: What it Means for Your Business in 2105 and Beyond. The speakers will provide advice to help you determine the future need and extent of any compliance with the new regulation.

Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:

·         OECD Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters

·         Terms of Reference

·         Peer Review Process by the AEOI Group

·         Common Reporting Standard and Due Diligence Standard (CRS)

·         Standardization of Information Disclosure

·         Fundamentals of the Multi-lateral Competent Authority Agreement

·         Future Potential Compliance Issue

·         Integration with Other Bi-lateral Agreements
