๐ŸŒ Asia is becoming more transparent for tax authorities: What has changed

While many still view Singapore, Hong Kong, or the UAE as a separate, insulated financial world, the OECD has published its Tax Transparency in Asia 2026 report.

In 2025 alone, thanks to information exchange and the CRS (Common Reporting Standard), Asian countries generated around โ‚ฌ1.65 billion in additional tax revenue. Since 2009, this total has reached +โ‚ฌ25.7 billion (representing 18% of all global tax revenues recovered through exchange of information).

๐Ÿฆ CRS has already been implemented by:

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒ Armenia
๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Azerbaijan
๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ณ Brunei
๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ China (exchange with 81 jurisdictions)
๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ช Georgia
๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Hong Kong (exchange with 84 jurisdictions)
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ India
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Indonesia (86)
๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Japan (87 jurisdictions)
๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Kazakhstan
๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ด Macau
๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Malaysia (87)
๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ป Maldives
๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ Pakistan
๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Singapore (86 jurisdictions)
๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท South Korea (89 jurisdictions)
๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ Thailand
๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ณ Mongolia is scheduled to begin exchange in 2027.

Currently operating without exchange:
๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ญ Cambodia
๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ Philippines
๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Sri Lanka
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Uzbekistan
๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ Vietnam

๐Ÿ’ฐ In 2025, Asian tax authorities received CRS data on 76 million foreign financial accounts holding โ‚ฌ4.1 trillion in assets.

๐Ÿ“œ In 2025, Asian countries sent 2,209 requests to foreign tax authorities and received 2,630 requests from other jurisdictions.

That is the volume of individual (on-request) inquiries alone!

The next target: Ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) of companies and legal structures, followed by crypto assets.

Agreed to implement the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF):

From 2027:

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Indonesia
๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Japan
๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Kazakhstan
๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท South Korea

From 2028:

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Azerbaijan
๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Hong Kong
๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Malaysia
๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ณ Mongolia
๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Singapore
๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ Thailand

In short, tax authorities are now receiving massive datasets and cross-referencing discrepancies among CRS reports, tax returns, tax residency status, corporate entities, and ultimate beneficial owners.
