To be recognized as a cooperative jurisdiction, Uruguay, in prior years, has undertaken different measures to become more aligned with the EU Standards on collaboration between regions.
Specifically, the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of EU (ECOFIN), highlighted the regulatory modifications adopted by Uruguay that comply with a series of recommendations they had made by in 2021.
The entry into force of Law No. 20,095 helped with this favorable resolution of status as this legislation addressed certain aspects that could be considered potentially harmful and encourage unfair tax competition.
Additionally, it is important to note that the new status assigned by ECOFIN, improves Uruguay´s image on the international stage by demonstrating that the country has the willingness to cooperate on issues of good tax governance.
This announcement was published on 14 February 2023 in the Official Gazette. It can be accessed here.
