answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2015 answer text The UK introduced legislation in Finance Bill 2015 in order to implement the G20-OECD model for Country-by-Country reporting. This will require multinational companies to provide information on the global allocation of income, economic activity and taxes, and will give tax authorities a clear picture of a multinational company’s global business, whilst ensuring the administrative costs for businesses are minimised.<p> </p><p> </p>The OECD model for Country-by-Country reporting to tax authorities is for high level risk assessment purposes and includes protections to ensure sensitive information remains confidential. Making the reporting information public would not enhance risk assessment for tax authorities. The UK has however transposed the EU Capital Requirements Directive IV, which requires public reporting for the banking and capital markets industry.<p> </p><p> </p>The European Commission has launched a public consultation on this issue and will evaluate the costs and benefits of different forms of Country-by-Country reporting, including the public disclosure of this information. The UK will be interested in understanding their findings.<p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 07/07/2015 14:27:42 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2015 answer text <p>International standards on anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing, including transparency of legal persons, are set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) of which the UK is a leading member. The Caribbean Overseas Territories (OTs) are members of the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force and as such have signed up to implement the FATF standards. Similarly, the Crown Dependencies (CDs) are members of MONEYVAL, the equivalent organisation for Europe. The OTs and CDs are also subject to mutual evaluations of their AML/CTF regimes through these bodies. The UK Government continues to engage actively with the OTs and CDs to encourage them to make improvements to their AML and CTF regimes in line with the international standards and the UK’s approach.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>More specifically, the Government expects each of the OTs with a financial centre to set out timetables for implementing central registries or similarly effective systems by November 2015. The Minister for the Overseas Territories and I wrote to the Leaders of the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, which already has a central register, in March stressing the importance of adhering to their commitment to help combat tax evasion.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Finally, The Government welcomes the commitment already made by the Government of Gibraltar to implement the EU Fourth Money Laundering Directive which includes a central register of company beneficial ownership.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 08/07/2015 08:14:56 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
