Case Study: OECD achieves secure global tax information exchange with Unisys CTS Services

Facilitating the secure exchange of tax information between tax authorities all over the world

OECD worked with Unisys to address the challenge of building and operating a secure, standardized way to exchange tax information between tax authorities around the world. The initiative centered on the Common Transmission System (CTS) and related CTS services.

Unisys implemented CTS based on OECD’s functional and non-functional requirements and now operates the services daily through a 24/7 helpdesk for enrolled tax authorities. The solution enabled highly secure bilateral tax information exchanges and helped 48 jurisdictions begin exchanging data under the Common Reporting Standard in September 2017, with 54 more committed to follow by September 2018.
