What is tax residency?

Tax residency determines which country has the right to tax your worldwide income. Rules vary by country but often depend on physical presence or center of life.

How do I change my tax residency?

To change tax residency, you usually need to leave your current country, meet residency requirements elsewhere, and follow exit tax procedures.

An exit tax is imposed when you move your tax residency, triggering taxation on unrealized capital gains or worldwide assets.

How can I legally reduce exit tax?

Exit tax can be minimized through careful tax planning, treaty benefits, and structuring assets before relocation.

Which countries have no income tax?

Countries like the UAE, Monaco, and The Bahamas have zero income tax policies, attracting wealthy individuals.

Can I live in a country but be a tax resident elsewhere?

Yes, through strategies like territorial taxation, tax treaties, or dual residency planning.

What is a territorial tax system?

In a territorial tax system, only income earned within the country is taxed. Foreign-sourced income is tax-free.

Which countries offer Golden Visas?

Portugal, Greece, and Spain offer Golden Visas, granting residency in exchange for investment.

What is a tax treaty?

A tax treaty is an agreement between two countries to prevent double taxation and reduce withholding tax rates.
