BAKER & MCKENZIE: UPDATE ON AUTOMATIC EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION IN HONG KONG
Hong Kong pledged in September 2014 its commitment to adopt the new OECD standard on AEOI and to commence the first information exchanges with appropriate partners by the end of 2018. The commitment is conditioned on enacting the necessary domestic legislation. The Government launched a consultation exercise from April to June 2015 to gauge views on how the AEOI standard should be incorporated into the relevant laws in Hong Kong. More than 40 stakeholders provided feedback on the Government's consultation paper.
