Leyla Ates and Burçak Bal Yalçin organized a seminar on the “International Automatic Exchange of Information in Tax Matters in collaboration with the Turkish Capital Markets Association (TCMA) on February 26, 2019. The TCMA is a professional organisation with public institution status that consists of 223 resident and non-resident members of financial institutions. The seminar focused on impediments to Turkish tax administrative cooperation with EU Member States. These have led to Turkey’s current position on the EU ‘grey list’ of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions and among the EU’s Top 15 Financial Secrecy Providers, according to a recent COFFERS study.
