I fully agree with you, as regards US Companies and taxpayers. However, can you, please, elaborate - why is that different in comparison with EU entities. The banks (and possibly the EMIs) have to report their EU clients as well. Some EMIs say they aren't CRS because they are not banks. Are they right therein ? I personally wouldn't bet on that. That would be a massive︀ breech in the EU's totalitarian policy. Too good to be true.
