2010: The year of implementation of the standards
In 2010, the new Global Forum commenced in-depth peer reviews of its members and other relevant jurisdictions. The start of these two-phase reviews marks a key moment in the Global Forum’s history and in the world of transparency and information exchange for tax purposes. After ten years in which momentum for real change has been steadily building, the Global Forum’s peer-based review program will provide for the first time a detailed analysis of each jurisdiction’s laws and information exchange practices based on in-depth scrutiny by all the Global Forum’s members.
