Every address below keeps $1,000,000 of income in full. The order is the engine's default reading of safety, schools, sun, beauty, cost and the route in.
10 countries and territories on the Patrician.ch board levy no personal income tax at all: the UAE, Anguilla, Monaco, St Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Turks and Caicos, the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, French Polynesia and the British Virgin Islands.
Uruguay and Panama tax local income and not income earned abroad. St Barths stops taxing local income only after a qualifying period of residence. That puts 14 of the 100 addresses at 0% for a mover whose income is earned abroad.
Yes. All 14 have a published investment, residence or talent route.
Routes in include Gustavia (founder & talent), Abu Dhabi (residence by investment, founder & talent, remote work visa), Dubai (residence by investment, founder & talent, remote work visa) and Anguilla (lump sum residence, residence by investment).
On personal income, yes. Dubai levies no personal income tax and no capital gains tax on a resident individual, so $1,000,000 of salary or investment income is kept in full.
The UAE charges 9% corporate tax on business profits above AED 375,000, which matters to a founder paid through a company.
Gustavia ranks first of the 14 on the engine's default weights, ahead of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
