This report contains the 2014 'Phase 2: Implementation of the Standards in Practice' Global Forum review of Uruguay.The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by over 120 jurisdictions which participate in the work of the Global Forum on an equal footing.The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes. These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004, which has been incorporated in the UN Model Tax Convention.The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. 'Fishing expeditions' are not authorised, but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard.All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction’s legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined – Phase 1 plus Phase 2 – reviews. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.

Dans quelle mesure la transition de l’enseignement obligatoire à la vie active a-t-elle changé dans les années 1990 ? Quelles sont les politiques les plus performantes ? Ces deux questions clés sont examinées dans cet ouvrage à la lumière de l’expérience de 14 pays de l’OCDE. Dans un contexte où les exigences en matière de niveau d’études et de compétences ne cessent de croître et où les populations vieillissent, peu de pays peuvent se permettre de laisser leurs jeunes entrer mal préparés sur un marché du travail où ils devront gérer sur le long terme des carrières en pleine mutation.
Cet ouvrage aborde les résultats en matière de transition d’une manière plus large que la plupart des études comparatives antérieures. Il présente ainsi toutes les facettes des mesures institutionnelles complexes que chaque pays a prises afin d’assurer une transition efficace vers la vie active. L’étude ne prône pas une solution unique, telle que l’apprentissage ; elle préconise plutôt des politiques nationales cohérentes, fondées sur un nombre limité d’ingrédients efficaces : une économie et un marché du travail sains, des passerelles fonctionnelles entre l’éducation initiale, le monde du travail et la formation continue, des opportunités de combiner formation et expérience professionnelle, des filets de sécurité pour les personnes à risques, des systèmes d’information et de conseil performants, et des politiques impliquant aussi bien les gouvernements que les autres partenaires.
Ce livre analyse également les différentes façons qu’ont les pays de stimuler l’apprentissage à vie pendant la phase de transition : il peut s’agir de transformer les filières et les établissements d’enseignement ou d’adopter des approches plus centrées sur l’élève.

Le Forum mondial sur la transparence et l’échange de renseignements à des fins fiscales est l’enceinte multilatérale au sein de laquelle le travail en matière de transparence fiscale et d’échange de renseignements est mené par plus de 120 juridictions participant, sur un pied d’égalité, aux travaux du Forum mondial.Le Forum mondial est chargé de la surveillance approfondie et de l’examen par les pairs de la mise en œuvre des standards en matière de transparence et d’échange de renseignements en matière fiscale. Ces standards sont essentiellement reflétés dans le Modèle d’accord d’échange de renseignements en matière fiscale et ses commentaires publiés en 2002 par l’OCDE et dans l’article 26 du Modèle de convention fiscale concernant le revenu et la fortune de l’OCDE et ses commentaires, tels que mis à jour en 2004. Ces standards ont aussi été repris dans le Modèle de convention fiscale des Nations Unies.Les standards prévoient l’échange de renseignements sur demande des informations vraisemblablement pertinentes pour l’administration et l’application de la législation fiscale interne de la partie requérante. La pêche aux renseignements n’est pas autorisée mais tous les renseignements vraisemblablement pertinents doivent être fournis, y compris les renseignements bancaires et les renseignements détenus par des agents fiduciaires, sans tenir compte de l’existence d’un intérêt fiscal national.Tous les membres du Forum mondial, ainsi que les juridictions identifiées par le Forum mondial comme pertinentes pour ses travaux, seront examinés. Ce processus est réalisé en deux phases. L’examen de phase 1 évalue la qualité du cadre juridique et réglementaire des juridictions en matière d’échange de renseignements alors que l’examen de phase 2 se concentre sur la mise en œuvre pratique de ce cadre. Certains membres du Forum mondial font l’objet d’un examen combiné – phase 1 et phase 2. Le but final vise à aider les juridictions à mettre effectivement en œuvre les standards internationaux en matière de transparence et d’échange de renseignements en matière fiscale.
