Global Daily Tax News, Bolivia Joins OECD Global Forum On Tax Transparency, (Jun 12, 2025)

Bolivia has joined the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes, becoming its 172nd member.

Bolivia will participate in the Global Forum on an equal footing with the other members, and, by joining the Forum, has committed to combatting offshore tax evasion through the implementation of the internationally agreed standards of exchange of information on request (EOIR) and automatic exchange of financial account information under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS).

"We are very pleased to welcome Bolivia as a Global Forum member," said Gael Perraud, Chair of the Global Forum. "Bolivia's decision underlines the growing resolve of Latin American governments to actively weigh in, and ultimately benefit from, the international collaboration in the fight against tax evasion and avoidance. It is a pleasure to see more jurisdictions joining the efforts to enhance international cooperation for tax purposes, and a matter of pride for the Global Forum."
