Since 2009, this total has reached +€25.7 billion (representing 18% of all global tax revenues recovered through exchange of information).&#xA;&#xA;🏦 CRS has already been implemented by:&#xA;&#xA;🇦🇲 Armenia&#xA;🇦🇿 Azerbaijan&#xA;🇧🇳 Brunei&#xA;🇨🇳 China (exchange with 81 jurisdictions)&#xA;🇬🇪 Georgia&#xA;🇭🇰 Hong Kong (exchange with 84 jurisdictions)&#xA;🇮🇳 India&#xA;🇮🇩 Indonesia (86)&#xA;🇯🇵 Japan (87 jurisdictions)&#xA;🇰🇿 Kazakhstan&#xA;🇲🇴 Macau&#xA;🇲🇾 Malaysia (87)&#xA;🇲🇻 Maldives&#xA;🇵🇰 Pakistan&#xA;🇸🇬 Singapore (86 jurisdictions)&#xA;🇰🇷 South Korea (89 jurisdictions)&#xA;🇹🇭 Thailand&#xA;🇲🇳 Mongolia is scheduled to begin exchange in 2027.&#xA;&#xA;Currently operating without exchange:&#xA;🇰🇭 Cambodia&#xA;🇵🇭 Philippines&#xA;🇱🇰 Sri Lanka&#xA;🇺🇿 Uzbekistan&#xA;🇻🇳 Vietnam&#xA;&#xA;💰 In 2025, Asian tax authorities received CRS data on 76 million foreign financial accounts holding €4.1 trillion in assets.&#xA;&#xA;📜 In 2025, Asian countries sent 2,209 requests to foreign tax authorities and received 2,630 requests from other jurisdictions. &#xA;&#xA;That is the volume of individual (on-request) inquiries alone!&#xA;&#xA;The next target: Ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) of companies and legal structures, followed by crypto assets.&#xA;&#xA;Agreed to implement the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF):&#xA;&#xA;From 2027:&#xA;&#xA;🇮🇩 Indonesia&#xA;🇯🇵 Japan&#xA;🇰🇿 Kazakhstan&#xA;🇰🇷 South Korea&#xA;&#xA;From 2028:&#xA;&#xA;🇦🇿 Azerbaijan&#xA;🇭🇰 Hong Kong&#xA;🇲🇾 Malaysia&#xA;🇲🇳 Mongolia&#xA;🇸🇬 Singapore&#xA;🇹🇭 Thailand&#xA;&#xA;In short, tax authorities are now receiving massive datasets and cross-referencing discrepancies among CRS reports, tax returns, tax residency status, corporate entities, and ultimate beneficial owners. &#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
