The Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago enacted Act No. 7 of 2020 to implement the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters. This legislation establishes a legal framework for the exchange of tax-related information between Trinidad and Tobago and other states to combat tax avoidance and evasion. The Act explicitly authorizes the sharing of personal information without consent and declares that its provisions prevail over conflicting sections of the Constitution regarding the right to privacy.
