“We believe that by working together, rather than unilaterally, governments can achieve the goal of addressing international tax compliance but in a way that minimizes compliance burdens for business and reduces the risk of a proliferation of multiple and different reporting requirements emerging around the world,” Mr. Lenon stated. “In particular, we welcome the commitment to develop common reporting standards and BIAC will work closely with governments and the OECD on these issues.”
