These individuals, who increasingly deteriorate the continent both at the European level with permissive and senseless policies, cause taxpayers&#8217; money to largely dissolve into inefficient projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At Nomad Tax, we are aware of your thoughts and ideologies on this matter.<\/strong> We also understand that you are here because you are seeking a change in life that allows you to improve your quality of life, increase your wealth, and ultimately ensure your personal security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we talk about paying fewer taxes, whether in Dubai, Cyprus, or another country, <strong>we are not advocating for leaving a hole in the state&#8217;s finances.<\/strong> We mean choosing to live in places where it&#8217;s possible to enjoy a considerable quality of life, <strong>compared to exaggerated tax rates that stifle and limit our economic freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If we calculate how much tax we pay in countries like Spain, France, England, or Sweden, considering VAT, we realize that we could end up paying up to 70%.<\/strong> Doesn&#8217;t that seem ridiculous, nomad? Because to me, it seems like one of the most absurd situations I&#8217;ve witnessed in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we will share information about 4 countries where you will not only reduce tax payments but could even avoid them if you structure your tax strategy appropriately. These countries, offering a decrease in taxes and an increase in quality of life, are located in Europe or very close to it. I won&#8217;t keep you waiting any longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting with the country that has been most popular among entrepreneurs and comes with important news: Portugal, with its Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thenomadtax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u00bfPor-que-las-empresas-en-Estonia-son-tan-felices-Porque-tienen-e-stabilidad-en-sus-impuestos.-\u00a1Y-nunca-se-preocupan-por-los-e-scapos-fiscales-6-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"NHR in portugal is closing\n\n\n\n\" class=\"wp-image-4430\" style=\"width:323px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thenomadtax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u00bfPor-que-las-empresas-en-Estonia-son-tan-felices-Porque-tienen-e-stabilidad-en-sus-impuestos.-\u00a1Y-nunca-se-preocupan-por-los-e-scapos-fiscales-6-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/thenomadtax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u00bfPor-que-las-empresas-en-Estonia-son-tan-felices-Porque-tienen-e-stabilidad-en-sus-impuestos.-\u00a1Y-nunca-se-preocupan-por-los-e-scapos-fiscales-6-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thenomadtax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u00bfPor-que-las-empresas-en-Estonia-son-tan-felices-Porque-tienen-e-stabilidad-en-sus-impuestos.-\u00a1Y-nunca-se-preocupan-por-los-e-scapos-fiscales-6-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thenomadtax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u00bfPor-que-las-empresas-en-Estonia-son-tan-felices-Porque-tienen-e-stabilidad-en-sus-impuestos.-\u00a1Y-nunca-se-preocupan-por-los-e-scapos-fiscales-6-1-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thenomadtax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/\u00bfPor-que-las-empresas-en-Estonia-son-tan-felices-Porque-tienen-e-stabilidad-en-sus-impuestos.-\u00a1Y-nunca-se-preocupan-por-los-e-scapos-fiscales-6-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Portugal closes the program for non-habitual residents (NHR).<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-End-of-Portugals-Non-Habitual-Resident-NHR-Program\"><\/span><strong>The End of Portugal&#8217;s Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) Program<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Portugal has been one of the most attractive options for those seeking a country with no income or dividend tax.

Now, as you may have noticed because I have spoken in the past tense:<strong> the regime is closing!<\/strong> Yes, you heard it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To enjoy these benefits, you must move to Portugal before December 31, 2023,<\/strong> and then register within the available period (until March 31, 2024) to benefit from NHR status. However, in any case, you won&#8217;t be able to proceed if you have been a tax resident in Portugal for the last 5 years for any reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why, Nomad, probably when you read this blog (because it has positioned well on Google), you may already be considering the possibility of looking for a new country that offers significant tax benefits. A place free from capital gains, income taxes, or with reduced corporate rates. So, without further ado, we continue with our list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we will discuss four attractive tax destinations like the<strong> United Arab Emirates, Estonia, Romania, and Cyprus<\/strong>, each with its own advantages.

However, a three-tier system allows rates of 0% for profits less than 375,000 AED (100,000 $) and 9% for higher amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exemptions are clarified, including dividends, capital gains, and intra-group transaction benefits. The tax applies to all companies in the United Arab Emirates, with specific exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies in free zones may be exempt if they do not conduct business on the mainland. This raises the question: <strong>Is it worth moving to Dubai after this change?
