Switzerland and France have reaffirmed their intention to maintain effective cooperation in the tax field based on the OECD standard.
According to a press release issued by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (FTA) on 12 June 2017, tax cooperation in the field of taxation is to be based on OECD standards and fulfil the obligations arising from the bilateral agreement, which was adapted accordingly with the supplementary agreements of 2009 and 2014.
According to the press release, the competent authorities were able to answer some application questions that had arisen in recent months and were still pending, and to agree on joint solutions.
The exchange of information on request can therefore continue effectively in all pending or future cases, in compliance with the applicable legal provisions.
The press release is available here.
