San Marino
1. San Marino was reviewed as part of the 2017/2018 and the 2018/2019 peer reviews. This report is supplementary to those previous reports (OECD, 2019[1]) (OECD, 2018[2]).
2. The filing obligation for a CbC report in San Marino applies to reporting fiscal years commencing on or after 1 January 2019.
Summary of key findings
3. San Marino’s implementation of the Action 13 minimum standard meets all applicable terms of reference (OECD, 2017[3]).
Part A: The domestic legal and administrative framework
4. San Marino has primary law in place to implement the BEPS Action 13 minimum standard, establishing the necessary requirements including the filing and reporting obligations.
Part B: The exchange of information framework
(a) Exchange of information framework
11. As of 31 March 2020, San Marino has 65 bilateral relationships in place for the exchange of CbC reports under the CbC MCAA. In the context of its international exchange of information agreements that allow automatic exchange of tax information, San Marino has taken steps to have qualifying competent authority agreements in effect with jurisdictions of the Inclusive Framework that currently meet the confidentiality, consistency and appropriate use conditions. Regarding San Marino’s exchange of information framework, no inconsistencies with the terms of reference were identified.1

Note
← 1. No inconsistency with the terms of reference will be identified where a QCAA is not in effect with one or more jurisdictions of the Inclusive Framework that meet the confidentiality, consistency and appropriate use conditions, but this is due to circumstances that are not under the control of the reviewed jurisdiction. This may include, for example, where the other jurisdiction intends to exchange CbC reports using the MCAA but it does not have the Convention in effect for the relevant fiscal period, or where the other jurisdiction has declined to have a QCAA in effect with the reviewed jurisdiction.
