    Switzerland to share black money information with India

    Switzerland to share black money information with India
  • The fight against black money has received a boost after Switzerland ratified the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) with India and 40 other jurisdictions.

    The global convention would facilitate the swift exchange of details on suspected black money.

    At the same time, the convention seeks a stringent adherence to privacy and data protection.

    Switzerland is a known safe haven for illicit wealth.

  • Background

    Black money a longstanding issue between India and Switzerland

    Black money a longstanding issue between India and Switzerland
  • It's suspected that several Indians have stashed unaccounted wealth in Swiss banks, making the subject a longstanding debate between India and Switzerland.

    In January 2012, India signed the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters.

    In November 2016, India and Switzerland signed an agreement for the AEOI's implementation, after New Delhi stepped up efforts to quash black money.

  • Information

    First tax data exchanges expected to begin in 2019

  • The Swiss Federal Council, the nation's top governing body, said the AEOI is slated to be implemented by 2018. The first automatic data exchange would begin in 2019. The council said it'll soon notify Indian authorities about the exact date from when exchanges would begin.

  • The convention's member countries would receive data on tax matters every year without raising special requests.

    The AEOI convention comes after intense negotiations between India and Switzerland on tax matters under the aegis of the G20, OECD and other international organizations.

    The Swiss Federal Council said the AEOI was "met with widespread approval from the interested parties who voiced their opinions in the consultations."
