Georgian banks dont really request for the tax ID, so basically they wont have anybody specific to report about.
They might ask for the ID later down the road (if CRS starts taking force in there) but I guess at this stage people can breathe safely.
 
I'm sure Georgia will follow the rest of Europe sooner or later (I know they are not Europe) as the USA and governments worldwide will put presure on them.

I’ve been always wondering if asking the tax ID explicitly is really necessary to track someone down. Technically, your passport number should be sufficient for the government of your country to get all information about you, including the tax ID.

Yeah right

It is a nice to have but not required for an exchange of information to happen under CRS. You won't find a bank refusing or failing to hand over data because they don't have a Tax ID for that client. Especially when they know where the client is resident.
 
Yes. But from November CIM will demand all clients to have/create economic substance in the country of registration

Is this what CIM had said to you? Thats an interesting development I guess.
 
can we open an account for a BVI company with CIM Bank if we setup something with conomic substance, what does this term covers?
Even as far back as 2016 CIM did not take any offshore companies. The list of countries they gave me only had RAK listed and rest where typical onshore stuff. My banker there also warned me they typically dont have any clients greater than 600,000 chf in size. Maybe things have changed now.
