The convention’s coverage includes administrative assistance between tax authorities for information exchange, such as automatic exchange of information, simultaneous tax examinations as well as assistance in the collection of tax debts.
Developed by the OECD and the Council of Europe in 1988, the convention on mutual administrative assistance in tax matters is the most comprehensive multilateral instrument available for tax cooperation and exchange of information.
