The Staff of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) released a Questions and Answers (Q&A) publication to support the adoption and implementation of the IESBA Tax Planning and Related Services Standards.

The development of the Q&As has been informed by the IESBA’s extensive discussions and consultations with a wide range of stakeholders and the IESBA’s own deliberations during the development and finalization of the standards.
