How we deal with tax haven arrangements

We are continuing to improve our ability to identify and deal with abusive tax haven arrangements.

We have access to increasingly rich information and sophisticated analytical tools to identify tax haven arrangements and their promoters.

Our strategic capability to investigate tax haven arrangements has been expanded by:

establishing a dedicated offshore compliance program to focus on taxpayers
collaborating with law enforcement agencies and overseas tax administrations on joint investigations
Project Wickenby activities.

We are also expanding our relationships with tax administrations in other countries, by sharing intelligence and best practice on tax haven risks and compliance strategies. Through our bilateral tax treaties, we are able to share information about taxpayers suspected of being involved in abusive arrangements. We have also signed TIEAs with three countries.
