#BeneficialOwnership #Transparency
Last week, we were pleased to take part in a panel session on “Beneficial ownership – practical implementation advice” at the @ATAFtax Exchange of Information conference in Zimbabwe, alongside colleagues from the revenue administrations of Nigeria, Seychelles, and Zimbabwe.
The discussion explored why #BeneficialOwnership (BO) information matters for #tax, and how interoperability between tax authorities’ systems and BO registers can make that information usable in practice.
🇵🇭 The Philippines is planning to introduce its first-ever primary law on #BeneficialOwnership #transparency. Here, we share how the country is making progress on its BOT journey, and how this new law can fight illicit finance and build public trust.
