What is the GIR MCAA?
The OECD's GIR MCAA is an agreement which aims to put in extra transparency measures to stop tax avoidance by big corporations. By signing it, the 14 countries mentioned are committing to automatically sharing certain financial information with each other about how large companies operate and pay taxes in their country.
By sharing this data with each other, the opportunity of hiding profits or avoiding taxes by shifting money between countries is reduced.
Further developments will be reported as they occur, via our Tax News Service.
