<h1>Exchange of information proformas: standardized requests introduced to obtain overseas transfer pricing and banking information for tax investigations.</h1> Requests for taxpayer information from foreign jurisdictions must be routed through the CBDT competent authority using prescribed checklists invoking the Exchange of Information provisions of DTAAs/TIEAs; Annexure A prescribes identification of taxpayer and counterparties, tax periods, taxes, precise questions, relevance to the investigation and statement of taxation-only use, while Annexure B prescribes detailed requirements for banking information. A separate proforma for Transfer Pricing cases is proposed and comments on its development and improvements to the existing checklist are sought; distinct requests are required for each taxpayer and each foreign jurisdiction and must be sent via designated FT&TR channels.
