The Global Forum Secretariat’s capacity-building activities support the global implementation of the two international standards on transparency and exchange of information (EOI): exchange of information on request (EOIR) and automatic exchange of financial account information (AEOI). Our work empowers jurisdictions in the fight against tax evasion and other illicit financial flows to ultimately enhance their domestic resource mobilisation. Between 2011 and 2021, the Global Forum Secretariat organised 316 events and 22 000 tax officials have been trained, including in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic during which new methods and resources were developed. |
Through the training of officials from national tax administrations, the TtT programme seeks to create and support a highly skilled network of trainers who will effectively adapt and multiply the acquired knowledge and skills domestically, in effect creating a sustainable capacity within tax administrations. Designed to assist participating jurisdictions in providing local training on EOI to tax auditors and investigators, the project is devised to build the capacity of national administrations to effectively use EOI instruments in their day-to-day work. The ultimate goal is that EOI is effectively used to tackle tax evasion and avoidance in order to mobilise domestic revenues and assist governments in their fight against other illicit financial flows. |
