“Hong Kong tax officials will soon be able to pass information about the finances of Americans working in Hong Kong to their US counterparts under an agreement signed yesterday as part of Washington’s global crackdown on tax evasion.  The Financial Services and Treasury Bureau said the tax-information exchange agreement allowed the US to file a request to the Inland Revenue Department ‘under specified conditions’. The bureau said that provided the basis for a further agreement that would enable US tax authorities to seek information directly from local banks.  Tax experts said the agreement was crucial for America’s controversial anti-tax evasion law, which takes effect in July.”
