Firstly, certain countries have reciprocal tax agreements such as DTTs that are can help reduce the amount of taxes an individual must pay. While DTTs can help you save on taxes, CRS and TIEA do not.
Tax transparency agreements like the TIEA and CRS are a form of reciprocal tax information sharing that are signed between member countries. While there are still many offshore jurisdictions that are members of neither, the number is quickly dwindling as more and more countries are being co-opted by the OCED to sign onto greater transparency measures.
The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) has been signed by over a hundred countries effectively sharing tax information of non-residents amongst member countries.
