Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes and Administrative Cooperation within the European Union: Taxpayers' Rights, Transparency and Effectiveness
The exchange of information in the field of taxation has become increasingly relevant in the last decade as a tool to improve tax authorities’ ability to deter, detect and disrupt tax evasion and avoidance. The workshop aims to cover the historical development, application, limits (if any), effects on taxpayers’ rights and the necessity and effectiveness of continuously widening the exchange of information requirements, from both tax law and administrative law perspectives within the EU.
