CRS

Common Reporting Standard

CRS is a global standard for the automatic exchange of financial account information between tax authorities. It was developed by the OECD to combat tax evasion.

Financial institutions collect and report account data for non-resident customers under CRS rules. It is often compared to FATCA but operates multilaterally.
