Last week, Kigali International Financial Centre (KIFC) in partnership with Rwanda Revenue Authority hosted an awareness workshop for financial institutions on the newly published Ministerial Order on ‘Common Reporting Standards for the Automatic Exchange of Information’. The session focused on the exchange of non-resident financial account information for tax purposes. The Common Reporting Standards (CRS) for the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) is an international framework developed by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It aims to combat tax evasion and improve tax transparency by enabling the automatic exchange of financial information between tax authorities in participating jurisdictions.
