IS OPENING AN INTERNATIONAL OVERSEAS BANK ACCOUNT ILLEGAL?
Whether the opening of an offshore bank account with a bank based overseas introduces a topic of inquiry or consideration about the process, benefits, and implications of establishing a bank account outside the account holder's country of residence, specifically with a financial institution located in a foreign country
This question of whether the opening of an offshore bank account with a bank based overseas, that is to say outside the borders of its holder, could bring a person into illegality vis-à-vis the local authorities of his place of residence.
From a legal point of view, opening one or more bank accounts abroad is perfectly correct both legally and from a tax point of view, as long as this opening of an account is declared to the tax authorities of your country.
The legality of a bank account abroad is guaranteed as long as the accounts and their contents are disclosed as dictated by the tax directive according to which any natural or legal person who has any tax domicile is liable to tax on income on the basis of all of his revenues.
Hiding a bank account within the European Union is almost impossible, because you should know that an automatic exchange of data has come into force since January 1, 2015 including Luxembourg, Switzerland which must follow at the latest in 2024.
