The main objective of OECD base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) Action Item 13 (Transfer Pricing Documentation and Country-by-Country Reporting (CbC Reports)) is to standardize the information provided to tax authorities in order to increase transparency and combat transfer pricing and base erosion risks. One key tool contained in Action 13 to meet this objective is the framework for government-to-government mechanisms to exchange CbC Reports. The framework provides that CbC Reports are automatically exchanged where the relevant jurisdictions execute bilateral competent authority arrangements(CAAs).
