| China-Guernsey TIEA Is In Force |
by Mary Swire, Tax-News.com, Hong Kong
Wednesday, August 24, 2011
The tax information exchange agreement (TIEA) between Guernsey and the People’s
Republic of China entered into force on August 17, 2011.
Incorporating the internationally-agreed Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD) standard for the exchange of information upon request,
the agreement will give the tax authorities of both countries a greater ability
to exchange taxpayer information. Under the terms of a TIEA, the signatories
will be able, on request, exchange bank and other information relating to tax
matters.
The agreement was originally signed in October last year during the visit of
a Chinese delegation headed by Xiao Jie, the Commissioner of the State Administration
of Taxation. Speaking during his visit, Xiao Jie confirmed China’s wish
to strengthen its economic and trading relationship with Guernsey.
Recently, Guernsey’s government has said that the completion of TIEAs
underlines Guernsey’s on-going commitment to the international standards
of wider transparency and exchange of information in tax matters, and that 26
countries have now signed TIEAs with Guernsey.
A comprehensive report in our Intelligence Report series,
examining in depth the situation of offshore transparency and secrecy in a number
