Abstract:The paper investigates the international exchange of tax information by characterizing and comparing the outcomes that emerge with and without information exchange. The set up consist of two-country world where the countries can't differentiate the taxation between residents and non-residents. Considering the role of differences in country size and the potential incentives to share the revenue raised by withholding or as a consequence of information exchange, the analysis demonstrates that it is in the interests of both countries, in terms of tax revenue, that all revenue collected from non-residents be transferred to the residence country. The results show that a withholding system with revenue fully reallocated in this way is always more desirable than information sharing.
