Taking lead to build capacity in tax and financial crime investigation in the South Asia region, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Sunday announced that India will launch a pilot programme on tax and financial crime investigation from July 18.
“It gives me immense pleasure to announce the launch of the pilot programme on tax and financial crime investigation in collaboration with OECD for the South Asian Region starting from July 18, 2023 at the Regional Campus of National Academy of Direct Taxes in New Delhi,” said Sitharaman at a G20 side-event held at GIFT City.
Financial crimes such as tax evasion, corruption and money laundering are intrinsically related to each other, she told the gathering.
Asking G20 member countries to remain alive to the emerging risks to financial transparency, she said: “In this context, the progress of work towards the development of the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework and the update to the Common Reporting Standard is a welcome step. ”
