Malta Exchange of Information List

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) had set up the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement (MCAA). The objective of the MCAA is to create a framework for the systematic and periodic transmission of taxpayer information by the source country to the country of residence of the taxpayer under the Common Reporting Standard framework

Where two signatories both specify the other in their list of intended exchange partners then the MCAA will come into effect between those two signatories. Rules of procedure will be developed to determine the sequencing of notifications as well as any subsequent changes to the notification procedure.

Such bilateral exchange relationships are being put in place for the automatic exchange of Common Reporting Standard (CRS) information. The relationships shown below include those under the framework of Article 6 of the Multilateral Convention and the CRS MCAA, as well as exchange relationships based on bilateral agreements and the EU framework.

As of October 2016, and with still almost a year to go until the first exchange date on 30 September 2017, there are now already over 1000 bilateral exchange relationships activated with respect to jurisdictions committed to a 2017 timeline.

We are listing below the bilateral exchange relationships for automatic exchange of information signed by Malta as at October 2016. Malta will exchange information in 2017 in relation to 2016.
