Does Revolut report end of year account balance or turnover according to CRS?

Well, at this point 3 options:

1) If you move important or big sums: Be‌ 100% legal but avoid the main part of taxes with a proper structure (legal but‍ with grey zones)
2) If you move little-medium sums or a little online business: Go⁠ straight with darks and get rid of the abusive taxes on your home country (not⁤ legal)
3) If you run a physical shop/business or you have a turnover of less⁣ than 30K a year, be 100% legit and have a company established in your home⁢ country (100% legal)
 
This is a CRS template. I cant see any field to turnover or so. Where‌ is "add payments" are payments like interest or any other dividends.
 
found this from june 2020, https://www.e-ma.org/emaweb/wp-cont...ian-STI-regarding-FATCA-and-CRS-June-2020.pdf

I would say Revolut UK would fall under this,‌ so no reporting :
HMRC confirms that EMIs and PIs are not Depository Institutions for‍ the purposes of reporting under the CRS or FATCA. In Guidance Note IEIM401540, HMRC confirms⁠ that e-money accounts and unregulated payment products issued by CIs are not Depository Accounts for⁤ the purpose of reporting under the CRS or FATCA.
 
In regards to Revolut moving European customers to new Lithuania branch, again from https://www.e-ma.org/emaweb/wp-cont...ian-STI-regarding-FATCA-and-CRS-June-2020.pdf

"In fact the EMA is currently providing input to OECD discussions on a proposal to bring‌ e-money into the scope of CRS; it is currently considered by the OECD to be‍ out of scope"

"We would like to propose that the STI FAQ sections for CRS⁠ and for FATCA be amended to clarify that e-money institutions, payment institutions and e-money accounts⁤ should not be included within the scope of CRS and FATCA reporting."

I think its⁣ fair to assume Revolut is still not reporting for this year, but the morons at⁢ the OECD are clearly cooking something ...
 
now there is this : https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/13/revolut-secures-european-banking-license.html

"Revolut announced it was granted a banking license by‌ the European Central Bank (ECB) that it will start to implement next year across key‍ markets including the U.K., France, Germany and Poland."

So when residents of those countries gets⁠ an FR, DE or POL (probably others...) IBAN in the coming years its likely CRS⁤ reporting will be in effect for them.
 
Very good explanation. Is that exactly: At this moment they are not reporting. In the‌ next 2 years, they will do it for sure, but if they are granted the‍ banking license, then it can be before that deadlines
 
no no, I just realize that‌ so many people in the past say they won't report with this and that service‍ and later we found it to be posted here on the same forum that they⁠ do!
 
Seems to be very confusing about the terms of payments being credited as you say‌ this leads people to assume things. I did not find any information other than what‍ you have said about the amount credited to your account from the investment products. Which⁠ means that all this talk about the turnover balance being reported is wrong. I also⁤ cannot find any national legislation on custody accounts for any EU country that reports within⁣ the framework of AOEI and CRS turnover balances to the account, or amounts credited to⁢ the account that do not relate to the investments from the account
 
I can assure you it is not wrong, not at all.‍ It may depend on the EMI or the country you live in. But I got⁠ punished hard a few years ago!
 
Sorry to hear about your experience, what I am mentioning now is about all EU‌ regulated FIs who need to comply with their national legislation which in this case is‍ based on the EU Directive, Council Directive 2014/107/EU so just handing out your turnover balance⁠ is not something that would just happen, except if there was a request for this⁤ and so on from the other tax authority etc, but this is not based on⁣ the directive in the EU for automatic exchanges, I get what information was shared with⁢ the tax authority in one of the the Nordic countries within the framework of their︀ national law based on the directive, and so far it has never reported a turnover︁ balance. Although I agree that the definition of other income is vague, especially when some︂ FIs themselves only use that statement, which creates uncertainty, but the banks freely choosing to︃ share information for which there is no legal support in national legislation based on the︄ EU directive is a direct crime against banking secrecy in that country if it exists︅ lol)), but of course other non-eu regulated FI's I have no idea so it could︆ be the case they share everything depending on their national legislation..
 
Revolut provides information to local tax authorities upon request in regions where revolut operate as‌ a bank. Revolut do not share information with tax authorities of other countries, either directly‍ or on an automated basis.
 
Unfortunately, it is not always the case that what the banks and other financial institutions‌ write on their website, or what an employee of the respective bank says, corresponds to‍ reality. Through bitter experience, I have learned that one should only use a bank if⁠ one is willing to lay all cards on the table and pay taxes on the⁤ deposits.
 
If you sign up under Revolut bank then there is a risk your info is‌ shared , if sign up under Revolut limited , it is not shared …
that is how I understand it
 
Does revolut bank pay interests on the money in the account? or how to figure‌ if the account is bank or still emi?
