@Spinat i guess montenegro may be excluded from the list as per https://www.oecd.org/tax/exchange-of-tax-information/crs-mcaa-signatories.pdf
In theory, yes, FATCA agreements are supposed to be reciprocal.WorldCitizen99 said:
If US has a Tax Info Exchange Agreement with country X, would they automatically share FATCA info with tax authority of X if a resident of X has a USD account in a country that is non-CRS?

Do not confuse CRS with MCAA. Both are completely different and have not much in common.oldtimer2 said:

I am definitely no expert on this subject, and when I briefly glance at it, it seems to me that CRS is a complicated set of arrangements, with countries signing up for various aspects of it as can be seen from the following links.... as the list of signatory countries in one document do not match the list in other documents.

Time to stop looking at this list and apply for a job at OECD!jafo said:
The irony here is that the OECD and its employees are tax-exempt! Imagine a guy with 1000 wives coming up to me to tell me I'm NOT even allowed to have one wife. He better know how to throw hands 🙂

Black hole

You could be a resident of Algeria, but have personal and business accounts in Europe/North America. Then you just move money into Algeria that you need for daily life, and keep the rest outside.blockchain4ever said:
Algeria has strict capital controls for banks, Algerians can't get their own money out. Why would you put money in that you cannot get out? Black hole indeed.

United Arab Emirates (Dubai) qualifies too. Even though they officially participate in the CRS, this doesnt apply for their residents. So if you get a Residence Visa in the UAE, you have automatically non-CRS status. This is fact - even though not published officially.Spinat said:
I have compiled the below small list for all of you to get a quick overview of what countries don't participate in the CRS (The Common Reporting Standard) which is an information standard for the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) regarding bank accounts on global level, between the tax authorities, which the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has developed. It's purpose is to combat tax evasion.
Lots of information I know, but hope it helps people to understand what the list is about and how important it can be for one looking for total privacy.
here is the list in alphabetical order:
- Armenia
- Cambodia
- Dominican Republic
- Republic of Georgia
- Guatemala
- Kazakhstan
- Macedonia
- Montenegro
- Paraguay
- Philippines
- Puerto Rico
- Serbia
- Ukraine
- United States (Consider FATCA RULES) !!
You need to check each country as time goes since this is a ever changing world and the fact that some countries actually will be part of the CRS is a ever lasting threat.

You want to read about CRS in the many threads around. CRS kick in where you are resident and regardless if it is a corporate or private account as long as your name is on it you get reported.
Just move to a territorial tax based country.Delta said:
Doesnt creating company in other country than your residency end up in creating non-csr bank acc on a company as bank acc is in same country? Via company we get residence, maybe utility bill.
Or this nuance is just wishfull thinking 😀
