Tax transparency

1. Tax - tax avoidance.

As part of tax anti-avoidance work, initiatives to have tax authorities states automatically exchange information on cross-border tax rulings and other tax-relevant information.

"Tax transparency is about putting an end to bank secrecy and tax evasion through global tax co-operation."

(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)

2. Tax - tax compliance - corporate transparency.

Action by corporate taxpayers to make appropriate disclosure about their management of the organisation's corporate tax affairs.

3. Tax - tax compliance - tax authorities.

The principle that tax policies should clearly and plainly define what taxpayers must pay and when they must pay it.

Hiding tax burdens in complex structures should be avoided.

Additionally, any changes to tax rules should be made with careful consideration, input, and open hearings.
