What's the best country in Europe to relocate with lowest possible tax?

What's the point of bashing the EU in‍ almost any EU related topic? Instead of these no-sense additives
Well I'd I am pretty down to earth and rational person so I'd rather guide myself⁤ by stats than by fear.

Yeah the inflation numbers don't make sense most of the⁣ time because you can't really measure inflation anyway it's to complex to express it in⁢ a percentage.

You are just insinuating things, it's all based on a theory of what︀ could happen, doesn't mean it will happen..

And besides the COVID situation I haven't really︁ felt limited in freedom of movement, just crossed 4 countries in the EU last weekend︂ by car without any problems, imagine trying this in Africa, South America or Asia..

What bad things do you see happening for people that are getting the vaccine? Bill Gates︃ implementing a 5G chip with the vaccines so they can control your mind?

If I︄ can give you some advice, stop bothering yourself with these non-sense theories and invest your︅ precious time in something else, trust me it will give you a lot more peace︆ in your mind. If you would actually believe that Europe would turn into this communist︇ hell hole you pretend it will be in the future I don't see why the︈ f**k you are not getting the f**k out of Europe?

I don't know what EU country you are︍ from but in my home country there are no loopholes anymore for the "elite". Well︎ if you don't believe a bright future for EU countries I suggest to get out️ of it if you not already have and stop bothering about it.
 
Ukraine, what an example of country in a state of war.

Now partying tourists⁤ for a few days are telling us how a life is in a certain country?⁣ LOL!!
 
Cool.
What about the rules for exit taxation in Romania?
If I understand correctly,⁠ in Romania there are only corporations, not partnerships, as a legal form that falls under⁤ the EU-wide exit taxation?
 
Please stay on topic. All this COVID and vaccine talk has nothing to do with‌ low tax countries in Europe.
 
Lots of posts deleted. A few warning handed out.

Keep your PhD dissertations about vaccinations‌ in threads about vaccinations. Don't hijack threads.
 
If you only consider tax, Estonia 's a great place. Administration's very fast, too. I've‌ been there a few times, and I got everything I wanted really fast, but I‍ don't think I'll ever live there. The place is just too cold. Tax cannot be⁠ the only reason to move to a country.

France has high tax and awful people,⁤ Austria's a boring country... Bucarest's quite fun, and life's very cheap... You have to find⁣ out what matters to you besides tax. If you can, I'd recommend to split your⁢ life among several countries.
 
it was so reasonably well elaborated, however, the question may still be valid.⁣ Dubai & Bahamas is so far the only mentioned places on this Globe you guys⁢ believe in and that will not turn into a new EUSSR or Zombie war zone.︀

The options are limited I believe ?
 
Malta has⁤ good infrastructure, schools / education, and the taxation rate 5% on company income.
Romania has⁣ medium infrastructure, good schools (American schools, etc), and taxation rate 3% on company income.
 
If Malta has a good infrastructure, then I must⁠ have lived in a different Malta. You know there is also Malta in US right?⁤ 🙂

Taxation is 35% with 6/7 refund but it takes ages to take it out. Let’s⁣ say your financial year ends 31st December and your profit is €1m. You have to⁢ pay €350k tax 18 months later, then you are supposed to receive 6/7 tax refund︀ within 14 days. This is just a theory though. I got it within 2 weeks︁ maybe once only. Usually it takes 4-6 months, last year it took me 9 months︂ to get it. That’s in total 27 months period from financial year ended until I︃ saw effective 5%. Obviously perhaps there are ways to use this money earlier like by︄ getting a loan to the shareholder which he later pays back to pay the tax.︅

I heard there is a way now to skip the waiting time and paying 35%︆ by paying 5% effective tax by having another MT entity. I did not venture how︇ exactly it works though. Will have to ask my csp as this would be interesting.︈
 
The only place that I would consider to live in in the EU besides Portugal‌ is Ireland, English speaking country with Great nature, nice people, great schools & colleges, good‍ banking, great networking and lots of VC that cater to my type of businesses so⁠ it's easier to raise capital, has a big city vibe (which is something that I⁤ like) without the downsides of living in big cities (minus the drunk lads ofc), and⁣ last but not least, great tax system with some nice write-offs.

There are other countries,⁢ but I wouldn't mind paying some taxes and live part of my time in Ireland,︀ but with my current tax planning and structures, I wouldn't pay a dime in taxes,︁ so I might give it a shot, Europe is the only continent where I don't︂ have a "base" there, and Ireland might be a good option!
 
Ireland would be perfect I agree for all the points above except... the weather.︄
 
You also have to be built for island life. This is a hectic, potholed, dusty island︆ with 450k people on a tiny sandstone rock.

I considered Ireland︈ after the GFC in 2010. Property was so cheap, should have done it.
 
Ireland vs Malta - I would go for Ireland, close to the UK and best‌ tax rates.
 
Whilst I'd agree that the choice of schooling⁢ is fundamental, there's more to education than universities, which your children will likely attend at︀ an age where they are already adults and can go abroad with basically no problem.︁

The nature and background of the average children in the school system from age 5︂ to 18 should be a much bigger concern. In a place like the UK you︃ have to pay dear money to ensure your (hopefully well-behaved and reasonably cultured) children are︄ not surrounded by basically beasts, and for them to actually learn something.
In Scandinavian countries,︅ children genuinely learn very little, but the environments are safe and they don't cost much.︆

Too many of the countries in the map are way too heterogeneous to be treated︇ as one country. Milan is a very different deal from Palermo, Paris from Nice, Madrid︈ from Malaga etc.
Apart from the legal and tax set-up, the idea of a "country"︉ doesn't really help here, I think it's a lot better to reason in terms of︊ cities.
 
I agree, but I won't spend the winter there, I have‍ other places/bases for that.

But for the other points I stated above, you usually can't⁠ have all of them in one place specially in Europe, and then comes Ireland and⁤ that's why I think it's hard to beat, because they really have it all.

Specially the nature there is something else, I was really surprised by the vast amount of⁣ nature that Ireland has, and it's so beautiful.
 
I would not recommend Ireland, expensive place, very condescending people, very racist at times, personal‌ tax rate pretty much in line with other EU countries on average.

Anyways, if you‍ pay yourself dividends instead of wages, tax rate will be a flat rate in many⁠ EU countries. France for example would be a nice place to be for 30% tax⁤ rate.
