Global Tax Reporting

Definition

Global tax reporting refers to the standardized collection and exchange of financial information across international borders for tax administration purposes. This system aims to prevent tax evasion and ensure compliance by providing tax authorities with data on their residents’ overseas holdings. It involves multilateral agreements and frameworks, such as the Common Reporting Standard. The process requires financial institutions to report specific data points to their local tax authorities, which then transmit this information internationally.
