Help - Plasterboard Joints

I'm replacing some plasterboard in the bathroom prior to having it tiled. I see the normal procedure is to join the boards using tape and joining compound. This is no problem but I have an external corner and the corner tape for this is quite expensive.
So - do I need to bother filling all the joins if tiles are going up and if so can I get away with normal tape on the external corner?

If its getting fully tiled do not bother taping and jointing, All you are doing is reducing the weight limits the board can take
Use square edge board and its ready to tileHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0 -
If you are tiling there is no need to fill the joints0
