Answers · current to October 2026

No income tax and no wealth tax.

10 countries and territories on the board meet both conditions, 11 addresses in all, ordered by the engine's reading of everything else.

In short, current to October 2026

  • 10 of the 47 countries and territories on the Patrician.ch board tax a mover's income at 0% and levy no annual wealth tax: the UAE, Anguilla, Monaco, St Kitts and Nevis, the Cayman Islands, Antigua and Barbuda, Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Panama and the British Virgin Islands, 11 addresses in all.
  • Panama taxes local income and not income earned abroad. The rest levy no personal income tax at all.
  • Punta del Este in Uruguay taxes a mover's income at 0% but levies a wealth tax, top rate 0.1%, so it is left off.
  • All 11 also levy no capital gains tax on shares listed abroad.
  • Anguilla and the British Virgin Islands levy no income tax but take a payroll levy from wages earned there, 3% of an employee's pay above EC$2,000 a month in Anguilla, which the 0% leaves out.
  • All 11 leave a spouse and children untaxed at death.
  • Once tax is equal, the engine's default weights rank Dubai first, then Abu Dhabi and Anguilla, on safety, schools, sun, beauty, cost and the route in.
  • A US citizen still owes US federal tax on worldwide income while living in any of them.
  • Figures are current to October 2026. Confirm residence terms with counsel before relying on any of them.

Your position, not the average

This page is the general case. Your income and passports rank all 100 differently.

The engine takes what you earn and what you hold, then orders every address on the board against it.

The Patrician Letter

The rules move. Be told when they do.

Sent when it earns the send, not on a schedule. Never shared, one tap to stop.

Income tax on the published 2026 rules. Social contributions, most deductions and treaties are not modeled. Figures are for a non-US single filer. Wealth tax, an exit and your passports are added when you run the engine on your own numbers. Not advice. Residence rules change often. Verify before acting.
