FAQ

Tax Comparison — Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries have 0% capital gains tax?

Several countries impose no capital gains tax on individuals, including Oman, Qatar, Taiwan (on listed securities), San Marino, the UAE, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, and Monaco. Note that "0% capital gains" often applies only to financial assets. Real estate gains may still be taxed separately, as in Taiwan. Always verify with a local tax advisor before relocating.

Which countries have no dividend tax for expats?

Countries with 0% dividend tax for resident individuals include Oman, Qatar, and Estonia (when the underlying corporate distribution tax has already been paid). Several others offer very low rates. San Marino taxes dividends at 5%, and Spain lowest savings bracket starts at 19%. Note that zero-dividend-tax countries typically achieve this via no personal income tax rather than a specific dividend exemption.

What are the best countries for retirees with low taxes?

The best low-tax retirement destinations depend on your income type. For pension and social security income: Panama (pensionado visa), Portugal (non-habitual resident program, now restructured), and Thailand have historically been popular. For investment income: Oman, Qatar, UAE, and Georgia stand out. For overall tax burden: countries with no personal income tax such as Gulf states, Cayman Islands, and Monaco are lowest, though cost of living varies enormously.

What is a special expat tax program and which countries offer them?

Special expat tax programs grant favorable tax treatment to qualifying foreign residents for a set number of years. Examples include Spain Beckham Law (flat 24% income tax for up to 6 years), the Netherlands 30% Ruling (30% of salary tax-free for up to 5 years), Italy new resident regime (flat 100,000 EUR annual tax on foreign income), and Malta Global Residence Programme. These programs typically require a minimum income, a qualifying visa, and an application process.

What is the difference between territorial and worldwide taxation?

Countries with territorial taxation only tax income earned within their borders. Foreign-source income such as dividends, capital gains, and rental income from abroad is untaxed. Countries with worldwide taxation tax residents on all income regardless of where it is earned. For expats living on investment portfolios or foreign business income, territorial taxation is far more favorable. Examples include Panama, Georgia, Paraguay, Thailand (under certain conditions), and Costa Rica.

Do countries with 0% income tax still have other taxes?

Yes. Countries with no personal income tax such as the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahamas, and Cayman Islands typically generate government revenue through VAT (UAE: 5%), import duties, corporate taxes, and resource royalties. They are not truly tax-free environments, but for individuals living on investment income or remote salaries, the effective personal tax rate can be near zero.

What is deemed return taxation (like Netherlands Box 3)?

Rather than taxing actual capital gains or dividends, some countries tax a presumed or deemed return on your investment portfolio, regardless of what you actually earned. The Netherlands Box 3 system applies a fixed assumed yield percentage to net assets above a threshold and taxes that deemed yield. This can be disadvantageous in low-return years and advantageous in high-return years.

How often is this tax comparison data updated?

This table is updated at minimum quarterly and reflects individual resident tax rates as of 2026. Tax law changes frequently, particularly for expat programs, which are politically sensitive. We recommend treating this as a starting point for research, not as tax advice. Always consult a qualified cross-border tax advisor before making residency decisions based on tax rates.
