Hong Kong signed a tax information exchange agreement (TIEA) with the US on 25 March 2014. This agreement will strengthen the ability of the two jurisdictions to take action in respect of the enforcement of their taxes. Tax information exchange agreements are regarded by many countries and by the OECD as an important instrument in dealing with tax evasion. The agreement will enter into force as soon as the ratification procedures have been completed by both countries.
