                On September 18, 2015, the Netherlands Tax and Customs Administration hosted the fourth OECD Forum on Tax and Crime, which focused on the future threats and opportunities for law enforcement agencies to work together in the tax and crime area and the use of technology.  The forum also served as an opportunity for the OECD to publish its report on improving cooperation between tax and money laundering authorities, which concentrated on better access to Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) by tax authorities.[1]
