Harmful Tax Practices – 2020 Peer Review Reports on the Exchange of Information on Tax Rulings
Inclusive Framework on BEPS: Action 5
BEPS Action 5 is one of the four minimum standards which all members of the OECD/G20
Inclusive Framework on BEPS have committed to implement. One part of the Action 5
minimum standard is the transparency framework for compulsory spontaneous exchange
of information on certain tax rulings which, in the absence of transparency, could
give rise to BEPS concerns. 140 jurisdictions have joined the Inclusive Framework
and take part in the peer review to assess their compliance with the transparency
framework.
Specific terms of reference and a methodology have been agreed for the peer reviews
to assess a jurisdiction’s implementation of the minimum standard. The review of the
transparency framework assesses jurisdictions against the terms of reference which
focus on five key elements: i) information gathering process, ii) exchange of information,
iii) confidentiality of the information received; iv) statistics on the exchanges
on rulings; and v) transparency on certain aspects of intellectual property regimes.
The reviews of confidentiality of the information received defer to the work of the
Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes and the
outcomes of that work are not published. Recommendations are issued where improvements
are needed to meet the minimum standard.
This report reflects the outcome of the annual peer review of the implementation of
the Action 5 minimum standard and covers 131 jurisdictions. It assesses implementation
for the 1 January - 31 December 2020 period.
