A Practitioner's Guide to International Automatic Tax Information Exchange Regimes: DAC6, TIEAs, MDR, CRS, and FATCA

The recent introduction of the Directive on Administrative Cooperation in the field of taxation 6 (DAC6) and mandatory disclosure regimes by many jurisdictions have led to a large number of professionals potentially being required to disclose information in relation to their clients’ arrangements. The authors analyse the operation of the various automatic exchange of information regimes which have been introduced in the last five years including the OECD common reporting standards DAC6 and MDR. They set them in their historical context as well as giving a technical analysis of the regimes. They focus on the guidance offered by the Irish and UK tax authorities with reference to other guidance in Europe and beyond, where appropriate.
