July 18, 2022 Honduras joins the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters
On July 11, 2022, Honduras signed the Convention with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This action is a step towards Honduras's commitment to tackle tax evasion and promote tax transparency. With this, Honduras joins a list of at least 146 jurisdictions that have ratified, accepted or approved the Convention as of July 11, 2022. The Convention is aimed at promoting international cooperation among tax authorities, while respecting the fundamental rights of taxpayers. It provides for various forms of administrative cooperation among states that are signatories to the Convention in the assessment and collection of taxes, including the automatic exchange of information, exchange of information upon request, spontaneous exchange of information, simultaneous tax examinations, tax examinations abroad, assistance in recovery of tax claims and service of documents. Before the Convention enters into force, it must be ratified by the Honduran Congress. ———————————————
