India is also among the top three countries receiving tax information from Switzerland
New Delhi, 28 June 2020 Sunday
According to a recent study by a global forum of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), India is one of the top three countries receiving tax information from Switzerland. The forum said India takes detailed information from Switzerland about the beneficial ownership of its citizens' bank accounts and their institutions. The purpose of this OECD study is to promote transparency and information sharing in tax matters.
The OECD has also given India a "Comprehensive Compliance" rating. According to a review by the Global Forum, Switzerland has made excellent improvements in providing legal ownership information, exchanging information about the deceased and making requests regarding data theft. . However, the report also states that there are still some challenges in the areas of proprietary information, information and privacy.
The issue of black money deposited in Swiss banks has been of political importance in India over the last few years. Switzerland is trying to dispel the prevailing beliefs about its financial institutions that it hides their invisible assets for tax evasion from people in different countries. Switzerland has shared details of more than 500 cases involving India in the last one year. The case concerns tax fraud and other financial irregularities.
