Bulgaria: - if you have a company, it's 10% corp tax and 5% dividend tax. Take your money out as salary and you'll pay 6k EUR max + 10% income tax only instead of 10+5. - if you register as a freelancer, you'll pay 7.5% income tax (10% - 25% expenses) and up to 6k EUR social contributions It's an amazing place for people who provide services remotely.
I realize your clientele is in the top 10% and I think your videos are great even though I don’t make 7 or 8 figures, it would be great if you could recommend companies that can help those in the low 6 figures that want to get out. Or diversify their life like you. There has got to be a first step. I know you didn’t wake up a millionaire and I would love a video about your story. I think it would be of value. As always, thank you for creating these videos. I learn so much.

There is no easy solution for those earning "only" low 6 figures. Those are the demography screwed the most by high tax governments, because they cannot escape that bad situation. You have to make the leap to the 7-8 figures for these schemes to make any sense. For various reasons nobody can or will tell you how to make that leap. That's the unfortunate reality.
@@melstark3466 doing most of this with under 500k liquid is really hard - unless you have ancestral routes etc you could exploit. The programs with the lowest barrier to entry often end up being nothing more than an expensive residencia / passport. Entry into the EU was possible a few years ago cheaply (eg Portugal) and into Panamá before then (the Friendly Nations visa was essentially free). But now, not so much. If you really want to hedge on the future look at Africa.
1:40 Hello from Bulgaria!;) In addition to the 10% corporate income tax, when you “look what is beyond the headline tax rate”, just like you said, Mr. Henderson, we can see that in Bulgaria there is also a corporate tax of 5% for giving dividents. So the actual tax is 14.5%. :) ✌🏻
I moved to Spain from California in 2019. I came as a resident with a non lucrative visa, since I have a Latin passport I was able to obtain citizenship after 2 years of legal residence and that came about 3 1/2 years total ! My life and expenses changed completely !
there´s nothing like Andorra, zero dividends tax, no hireritance tax, no wealth tax, no gift tax, only a max of 10 in corporate or income tax.... no crime, quality services....
@@NoeMilcentPatrimoine I agree! Sabadel 😂 what a joke!! Old crappy payment systems that’s any idiot can hack, you know that number card you need to use to make a bank transfer? 😂
As a Bulgarian having an accoutning company I can confirm that. In Bulgaria, especially if you run a business, the effective tax rate may be even lower than 10%. I do not recommend the contracts (labour and civil) as they have some additional health insurance related taxes and other small things, however, those are up to a certain limit. Thus, it also depends on your income.
Even tho I’m not a millionaire YET I’ve been able to apply MANY of your strategies to my own life with great benefits! I’m doing 4 countries 3 month each and living a HAPPY life outside the US ! Love you and Nomad Dads thoughts keep going 🙏🏽
Yes abiding by countries visa regulations is the key. Most countries have 90 day visa (for people with “strong” passports) thanks to the EU,s bullying of many countries to conform with its wishes. That said being a digital nomad , receiving a pension or having a business somewhere gives you a secure life moving between your favourite countries and maybe establishing a number of home bases. It’s just that one cannot remain for more than what the visa states.
you should mention what the tax wedge in Bulgaria and Hungary looks like, and it's not pleasant. The social security contributions are insane and even out into a pretty high tax existence.
Same way for usa- its all headline tax. In reality you can pay very little, 2-5%. 1. Realestate is #1 write-off-able in usa. Hence why a lot of rich is in realestate. 2. Owning own business or just having portfolio, and never selling, but borrowing against it, means 0% tax as debt is tax free. 3. Venture Capital. When you buy startup of early state, and hold it for 5 years, once you sell, first 10 million in gains is tax free. Thats why accredited investors just buy a lot of startups with even amount. A lot of those fail, but those who boom, boom big, big time like 10-1000x.
Exactly I've been paying $0 in tax legally on mid 6 figures in real estate income for over a decade. That's because the US tax code is so advantaged. Renouncing my passport or going elsewhere would be dumb, but I no longer physically live in the US but they have the best tax system for leveraged real estate.
So you never sell and can borrow against your real estate portfolio? And if you never pay back what you borrow, doesn't your debt and interest just keeps growing? Don't you have to repay debt monthly while having your living expenses? How do you pay it back, with your borrowed money? What if things go bad for a period and your portfolio loses its value, and you can't sell, how will you pay your debt? Isn't this the sure way to go bankrupt? Please run an example with numbers that makes sense.

As a European, I find it slightly funny. Most of the places recommended are some of the worst places to live in Europe. Generally speaking, financially the best life is in Scandinavia, Germany, France. That is also the countries with some of the highest taxes. Another thing is, Bulgaria, Balkans and others have also a higher rate of crime and are generally poorer. Why would anyone want to be rich in an otherwise poor country with higher crime rates. I just find it more uncomfortable. And last but not least. Are many people actually moving somewhere because of taxes? And if so, why? (Genuinely curious)
This clip from Live Like a King touches on why some choose places like Serbia-not just for taxes, but for safety, personal freedom, and lifestyle balance. Worth a watch: th-cam.com/video/vyEzseB_VSs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZgTL7R5IDKl9NA4c&t=924
Why is Romania not mentioned? it has very low taxes (1-3% corp tax for micro companies up to 500k€ revenue, then 8% dividend tax), and the quality of life / modernity is way higher than on Bulgarian, N Macedonia or Georgia to take the examples of this list. Plus the language is a Latin one, making it much easier to learn than Bulgarian for instance, for people already speaking a Latin Roman language (French, Italian, Spanish…)
@@Gilotopia Indeed, but this contribution is capped to around 79K Lei, on the basis of which you need to pay 10%. Which means max 1500€. Of course, if your total dividend is 15k€, then it adds indeed 10% of tax, but if you are at around 100k€ dividend, then it's an addition 1.5% only to the total tax, and not (at least) doubling it.

This video covers why Poland might just be the ideal destination for savvy investors and entrepreneurs looking to optimise their tax strategy in Europe: th-cam.com/video/jilnq-j_xVA/w-d-xo.html
If anyone is considering spending approx. $200k they should honestly just go for a 0% PIT country because why not? If you're willing and able to spend that kind of money, why not fully tax optimize? You get a lot more options when you don't have to pay any PIT!
I get that people don't want to pay tax. But taxes pay for infrastructure, educated workforces, public health, financial and personal safety, and more. Personally, I don't mind paying for what I get. My business is successful because I have access to healthy, educated, workers who are able to get to and from work. Not paying for that feels like (and is) freeloading on the benefits I received. It doesn't seem like only my employees should pay for the success of my business. Everything breaks down when people stop paying for what they get.
Not for all it is paying no taxes, but get some more money out of your work. The problem is that since WWII each government promised their voters benefits and those need to be paid. Western governments spend money questionable. Social security is out of control, people are financially better off by not working than working low paying jobs. People do not work more than parttime because working more hours doesn’t increase income due to losing benefits. Cost of immigration is hidden, sending tons of money to other countries (for support and or war). Spending insane amounts to climate change initiatives, if 1/4 of world population is trying to reduce climate change, will it make a change?
If you live in UK say you made 20 million a year 5 million gone just for cooperation tax and if you wanna spend remaining money another 6 million for income tax and many more VAT, stamp duty etc. when you pass to your kids they end up paying another 40% I didn’t even come to capital gains tax. Roads are so bad you can’t even drive super car without damaging it😅
The difference between the European Union, the USA, and other Western countries is that the European Union has multiple options. The European Union is made up of over 25 different countries. The Balkin countries and other European countries that have just joined the European Union or haven't been members of the European Union will have a more favorable tax system. I believe the best European Union countries are the ones most overlooked, and most people may have never heard of them. I just remembered one of No Mad Capitalist's videos not too long ago when he mentioned Adorra. I have never heard of Adorra before.
when you come to the realization that taxes do not matter that much because they are not the product of your work but someone else's... you want to be economically free... live on debt and make someone else pay for it.
Europe has way too many medieval era taxes that slow down innovation. I'd be curious what people think about a very random transaction tax 5% on top of VAT on any bank accounts transactions and debit card purchases. Apparently that transaction tax might be against some EU regulations. Does it make countries like Hungary and Slovakia (who pursued this nonsense in their legislation) go back to medieval times? Why would any young people want to stay there (even though these are low tax economies)?
Not gonna lie, I was about to move to the UAE thinking it was a tax-free paradise... but now I’m rethinking and maybe heading to Malta instead. Tax strategies are on another level here! 🤔

I love you man and watch all your videos and I don't blame you because hey, there's an open door to do this stuff but understand that wealthy people paying not much tax is one of the main reasons that the west is in such steep decline.
Belgium has among the highest taxes in the world. Good thing there is no capital gains tax but some politicians in Belgium are talking about creating one.
Hungary: I hear all the time that the corporate tax is the lowest in Europe but that's about it. I've already asked a bunch of accountants for a full break down but can't really get it. Being a freelancer though, it's highly taxed. There are multiple schemes, such as "flat rate" if you can stay under a certain level of income. That level is quite low. (I mean, it's relative, but if you watch this channel, it's probably because you are trying to save more than 100$ a month) In the end, you end up with 30 - 40% out. The government does not like people who work remote. It's 2024 and laws are still as if Internet didn't exist. They "allow" you to make more money as a hairdresser than as an IT guy. (different tax brakets)
Do not go to Hungary for tax reasons. You will get screwed if you do so. They change their rules pretty often pretty sharply. Their only goal is to maximize the earnings of their oligarchy. Just stay out.
@@couldntfindafreename yeah, whatever the reason, as I don't want to turn this into a political debate, you are 100% right, they often change the rules. Plus, the flat rate tax schemes, that have a low limit already for IT guys, are worsen by the Hungarian Forint (HUF) losing value. I really don't get why governments can't just make it easy, take their (undeserved) part and leave people in peace. Hungary is super bureaucratic, fond of paperwork, it's also a pain if you don't speak Hungarian, you'll have to rely on someone else.
It's generally the best place to make money but once you have some wealth your quality of life can be a lot higher for a lot cheaper in other countries
@@i_like_beer-o2f Probably so when you are ready to quit working and want to live off of your investments. But from what I see, I would not mind visiting those other places but want to live and pay taxes in the US. The system is a great deal better overall for a working person.
@@Kevin-zz9nc Most countries are suseptable to rapid collapse. The American system is far from perfect but it still works fairly well. In addition to that, the US still has resources and infrastructure to rely on.
Macedonia is In Greece, its ALWAYS been that way. History says so.... not just some political mickymouse brainwashed jokers. They speak bulgarian dialect and all balkan countries can roughly understand eachother since they are all slavs. Period.
There're much better tax regimes in Russia than the PIT, i.e. the simplified tax regime with the 6% tax rate or even the patent tax regime with lump sum taxes. I chose the patent tax regime and pay less than 0.5% of my income in taxes.
Move to Ukraine 5 + 1 %. Russia - sucks, no normal banking (all under santions and crazy dictator as a bonus). Probably in future no $ or EUR to buy, only "wooden" ruble or CHY.

By not mentioning Latvia it means there is not enough information out there about Latvian tax system for those who want to save some tax money.
Why is Romania not mentioned? it has very low taxes (1-3% corp tax for micro companies up to 500k€ revenue, then 8% dividend tax), and the quality of life / modernity is way higher than on Bulgarian, N Macedonia or Georgia to take the examples of this list. Plus the language is a Latin one, making it much easier to learn than Bulgarian for instance, for people already speaking a Latin Roman language (French, Italian, Spanish…)
nah
Good points well made
Don't forget health insurance taxes on the dividends. So you end up with a 16-20% effective tax rate. That's not low.
@@Gilotopia Indeed, but this contribution is capped to around 79K Lei, on the basis of which you need to pay 10%. Which means max 1500€. Of course, if your total dividend is 15k€, then it adds indeed 10% of tax, but if you are at around 100k€ dividend, then it's an addition 1.5% only to the total tax, and not (at least) doubling it.
Because they want to increase income tax to 16% and dividend tax to 16% by next year.
So Domicile based taxation is similar to remittance based taxation?

Moldova gets you flat 7% tax if you're working in tech and open a company in the virtual IT park which is super simple
If anyone is considering spending approx. $200k they should honestly just go for a 0% PIT country because why not? If you're willing and able to spend that kind of money, why not fully tax optimize? You get a lot more options when you don't have to pay any PIT!
I get that people don't want to pay tax. But taxes pay for infrastructure, educated workforces, public health, financial and personal safety, and more.
Personally, I don't mind paying for what I get. My business is successful because I have access to healthy, educated, workers who are able to get to and from work. Not paying for that feels like (and is) freeloading on the benefits I received. It doesn't seem like only my employees should pay for the success of my business. Everything breaks down when people stop paying for what they get.
Not for all it is paying no taxes, but get some more money out of your work. The problem is that since WWII each government promised their voters benefits and those need to be paid. Western governments spend money questionable. Social security is out of control, people are financially better off by not working than working low paying jobs. People do not work more than parttime because working more hours doesn’t increase income due to losing benefits. Cost of immigration is hidden, sending tons of money to other countries (for support and or war). Spending insane amounts to climate change initiatives, if 1/4 of world population is trying to reduce climate change, will it make a change?
@@jasperonandroidNo, Krakken is correct. Those reasons you listed are just poor excuses.
@krakken- yep, tax avoidance is about parasites accumulating wealth for no end, and harming whichever societies they come into contact with.
No one cares about paying a polite amount of tax. But it’s usually too much and that money isn’t administered well at all
If you live in UK say you made 20 million a year 5 million gone just for cooperation tax and if you wanna spend remaining money another 6 million for income tax and many more VAT, stamp duty etc. when you pass to your kids they end up paying another 40% I didn’t even come to capital gains tax. Roads are so bad you can’t even drive super car without damaging it😅
Heck, yeah Andy
The difference between the European Union, the USA, and other Western countries is that the European Union has multiple options. The European Union is made up of over 25 different countries. The Balkin countries and other European countries that have just joined the European Union or haven't been members of the European Union will have a more favorable tax system. I believe the best European Union countries are the ones most overlooked, and most people may have never heard of them. I just remembered one of No Mad Capitalist's videos not too long ago when he mentioned Adorra. I have never heard of Adorra before.
I didn't think Switzerland is a full member of the EU ?????¿?
Ask yourself, what is economic freedom
when you come to the realization that taxes do not matter that much because they are not the product of your work but someone else's... you want to be economically free... live on debt and make someone else pay for it.
@@iamstartowerCan you go into depth on this and other knowlege you hold that you think is worthy, thanks! :) Intriuged!!
Europe has way too many medieval era taxes that slow down innovation. I'd be curious what people think about a very random transaction tax 5% on top of VAT on any bank accounts transactions and debit card purchases. Apparently that transaction tax might be against some EU regulations. Does it make countries like Hungary and Slovakia (who pursued this nonsense in their legislation) go back to medieval times? Why would any young people want to stay there (even though these are low tax economies)?
Not gonna lie, I was about to move to the UAE thinking it was a tax-free paradise... but now I’m rethinking and maybe heading to Malta instead. Tax strategies are on another level here! 🤔
Javier from our Nomad Capitalist R&D channel is also interested in Malta's tax strategies and lifestyle. Watch here: th-cam.com/video/PuSdNPgJBM0/w-d-xo.html
Come to Andorra. Malta is disconnected from mainland and you always need to fly or take a ferry to go out. Not practical at all
@@lsfornells indeed, that’s the reason they give this tax cuts because people don’t wanna live there
@@ApriliaCollector Then maybe you should cover Andorra in a future video. I live there since 3 years ago. I would be interested in learning what's your perspective as an external analyst
UAE are now at 10% tax
Dubai is zero tax but everything costs double the amount.
no its 9%
@@taaest-xekonly if you are doing a non qualifying activity and or trading within UAE
0% on revenue, capital gain or any other source of personal income.
@@rben26 it's 9% tax on corp and if self-employed . Who really goes to UAE for a job ? Most are Entrepreneurs .
Interesting, I totally disagree with this. But everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Bulgaria WAS cheap country to live. The expected introduction of the Euro currency rushed the prices and consequently the salaries up to EU levels. It is still relatively cheap to eat outside but like 20-30% cheaper than Helsinki for example.
I pay 9% corporate tax and 0% personal income tax. Will I find anything better than that?
Where are you based?

Nordic countries have lowest corp tax rates. Lowest I know for sure is 7% without use of offshore companies.

21.5% in Sweden. Where is that 7%?
Meanwhile Germany :- talk to my hands 😅
Anything can be done for people that are PAYE?
No, they are always getting screwed by the government and cannot escape that bad situation. This is why you should avoid PAYE at all costs.

I love you man and watch all your videos and I don't blame you because hey, there's an open door to do this stuff but understand that wealthy people paying not much tax is one of the main reasons that the west is in such steep decline.
Actually the corruption in the politics is the real reason.
Belgium has 0 tax but you never mention it
Belgium has among the highest taxes in the world. Good thing there is no capital gains tax but some politicians in Belgium are talking about creating one.
Romania has 3% tax until 350k euro/year
Plus dividend tax plus health insurance tax. Don't be fooled.
Wait people still want to live in Europe? 😮
Not everybody is "nomadic" or can afford to be. If you have no attachments whatsoever, sure keep rolling.
Tax is illegal!!!!..... always has been.
Well.
That settles that, apparently.
You pay your 10% in serbia for ex and sleep tight on your two ears
You take nothing to the grave
Hungary: I hear all the time that the corporate tax is the lowest in Europe but that's about it.
I've already asked a bunch of accountants for a full break down but can't really get it.
Being a freelancer though, it's highly taxed. There are multiple schemes, such as "flat rate" if you can stay under a certain level of income. That level is quite low. (I mean, it's relative, but if you watch this channel, it's probably because you are trying to save more than 100$ a month) In the end, you end up with 30 - 40% out. The government does not like people who work remote. It's 2024 and laws are still as if Internet didn't exist. They "allow" you to make more money as a hairdresser than as an IT guy. (different tax brakets)
Do not go to Hungary for tax reasons. You will get screwed if you do so. They change their rules pretty often pretty sharply. Their only goal is to maximize the earnings of their oligarchy. Just stay out.
@@couldntfindafreename yeah, whatever the reason, as I don't want to turn this into a political debate, you are 100% right, they often change the rules. Plus, the flat rate tax schemes, that have a low limit already for IT guys, are worsen by the Hungarian Forint (HUF) losing value. I really don't get why governments can't just make it easy, take their (undeserved) part and leave people in peace. Hungary is super bureaucratic, fond of paperwork, it's also a pain if you don't speak Hungarian, you'll have to rely on someone else.
So you like Autobahn, free University and cheap good healthcare, but leave the locals to pay for it instead of yourself? Great.
You my friend will remain forever poor and die for your idealism. Pragmatic mind is the real deal.
Whatever. But I live here.
The more I watch these types of videos the more thankful I am to be living in the United States. On the balance, it's still the best place to be. ☮️
It's generally the best place to make money but once you have some wealth your quality of life can be a lot higher for a lot cheaper in other countries
@@i_like_beer-o2f Probably so when you are ready to quit working and want to live off of your investments. But from what I see, I would not mind visiting those other places but want to live and pay taxes in the US. The system is a great deal better overall for a working person.
@@i_like_beer-o2f well not in Europe
Not for long.....
@@Kevin-zz9nc Most countries are suseptable to rapid collapse. The American system is far from perfect but it still works fairly well. In addition to that, the US still has resources and infrastructure to rely on.
Ha ha you dont even talk about portugal... zero tax🤑 weird
Here’s what you need to know about tax in Portugal for expats: nomadcapitalist.com/global-citizen/zero-income-tax-non-habitual-residence-portugal/
I’m okay with you paying no taxes as long as you don’t use the roads, hospitals, schools etc.
it should not be legal to not pay tax . tax the shit out of the rich .
i do not give a shit about anybody opinion .
define the rich bracket?
Liberals please don’t come to portugal, trump supporters are welcome though.
Macedonia is In Greece, its ALWAYS been that way. History says so.... not just some political mickymouse brainwashed jokers. They speak bulgarian dialect and all balkan countries can roughly understand eachother since they are all slavs. Period.
Obvious choice: MOVE TO RUSSIA! 13%!
There're much better tax regimes in Russia than the PIT, i.e. the simplified tax regime with the 6% tax rate or even the patent tax regime with lump sum taxes.
I chose the patent tax regime and pay less than 0.5% of my income in taxes.
Move to Ukraine 5 + 1 %. Russia - sucks, no normal banking (all under santions and crazy dictator as a bonus). Probably in future no $ or EUR to buy, only "wooden" ruble or CHY.
have fun!
