"Where do you pay your taxes?" You hear this question a lot nowadays. Banks, brokers and internet platforms such as AirBnB are all interested in where you are liable to pay tax.

The reason for the banks' interest in your tax residence is the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), i.e. the automatic exchange of information, which was activated by the OECD around 5 years ago. CRS turns your bank abroad into a branch of your tax office.

So far, around 110 countries - including most tax havens and offshore financial centers - have signed up to the CRS, and most of them are already exchanging data, including countries such as the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Singapore, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Panama, Switzerland, Thailand, Vanuatu and the UAE.

In this video, we'll take a look at how to open an account in one of the countries that don't currently exchange information. And it's completely legal as long as you comply with your tax declaration obligations.
