The Panamanian Government and Japan sealed an agreement Thursday for the exchange of tax information.

The country, repeatedly questioned this year on the transparent use of its financial system, tries to promote the automatic exchange of tax information with some countries.

With the signing of this agreement, Panama incorporates, for the first time, the parameters of the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), an instrument promoted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

However, the OECD has asked Panama to sign an agreement of automatic exchange of multilateral tax information, but so far the country maintains its position only be subscribed to bilateral, although the Panamanian vice president, Isabel de Saint Malo, has informed, on the contrary, that the possibility of acceding to that required by the body mechanism is studied.
