ITB Podcast: Suspension by UK of its tax information exchange relationships with Russia.

In this bonus episode of International Tax Bites, myself and my podcast partner and co-author of A Practitioner's Guide To International Tax Information Exchange Regimes, Harriet Brown of Old Square Tax Chambers, discuss the recent suspension by UK of its tax information exchange relationships with Russia under CRS and Country by Country reporting.
