The OECD announced today that Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles have implemented the internationally agreed tax standard, having signed bilateral agreements with seven Nordic economies – Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden – on exchange of information for tax purposes.
This moves both jurisdictions into the category of ‘Jurisdictions that have substantially implemented the internationally agreed tax standard’ in the [Progress Report ](http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/50/0/43606256.pdf)initially published by the OECD Secretariat on 2 April 2009.
Eight jurisdictions have now moved into the substantially implemented category since the Progress Report was first published.
