The training seminar aimed to : (i) train participants on the requirements of the international standard on Exchange of Information on Request (EOIR) for tax purposes and help them prepare for their jurisdictions’ EOIR peer review; and (ii) train participants on the requirements of the Standard for the Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters (AEOI Standard) and its effective implementation in practice. Through a series of training sessions and hands-on group activities (using case study scenarios), participants will be familiarized with the EOIR peer review process and the issues that arise in governments’ implementation of the AEOI Standard.

The seminar was designed for government officials responsible for EOI policy issues and/or operational EOI (competent authority work) in their home jurisdiction, or any other officials charged with the implementation of the EOIR/AEOI standards and/or the preparations for their jurisdiction’s Global Forum reviews in relation to these standards.
