We analyze the impact of exchange of information in tax matters in reducing international tax evasion between 1995 and 2018. Based on bilateral deposit data for 39 reporting countries and more than 200 counterparty jurisdictions, we find that recent automatic exchange of information frameworks reduced foreign-owned deposits in offshore jurisdictions by an average of 25 percent. This effect is statistically significant and, as expected, much larger than the effect of information exchange upon request, which is not significant. Furthermore, to test the sensitivity of our findings, we estimate countries’ offshore status and the impact of information exchange simultaneously using a finite mixture model. The results confirm that automatic (and not upon request) exchange of information impacts cross-border deposits in offshore jurisdictions, which are characterized by low income tax rates and strong financial secrecy.

This book focuses on the legal position of the taxpayer in the exchange of tax-related information between states. It begins with the legal-philosophical background of legal protection, which is followed by a description and analysis of the international legal framework for cross-border exchange of information. In the following chapters the attention is paid to the role of the OECD Model Tax Convention, OECD Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters, the Convention of Strasbourg, the European Directive 77/799 and the Council Regulation 1789/2003. Further, the author examines the interests of the taxpayers and gives outlines for a system of legal protection of taxpayers' right.
