Thanks for mentioning Puerto Rico. It's a great solution for those who do want to keep US citizenship and be able to start getting 0% on capital gains, 4% business taxes, no exit tax (because you're still a US citizen). You have to live in Puerto Rico for 183 days per year. Best solution imo for those who DO want to be able to be in the USA for a significant amount of time each year (up to 182 days each year).
@@nomadcapitalist Thanks. I mentioned you several times in one of my recent RUclips videos on Puerto Rico. I recognize that every person has unique desires when trying to solve their lifestyle and tax situations and a "one solution fits all" is not going to work. Thanks for the videos you do. If you're bored and want to hear me shout you out a few times, check out my puerto rico videos.
I read that some of the winners in crypto circa 2017-2018 took advantage of Puerto Rico's tax policies. How was that possible when they started their crypto investments years earlier? Puerto Rico's capital gains tax allows for tax free, even if the original investment was made in 2012, and grew for 6 years? If that's true, then anyone can go there with their work 401k, then.
@@johnbrian1046 Not really. 401k are taxed as ordinary income, not capital gains. Contact a tax advisor familiar with US and PR. My guess is that a person would owe taxes as if they were still in US. Because they made a deal with Gov. when they started 401k and did not pay tax on money going in. I always say it is better to do a Roth IRA first and then look to 401k and standard brokerage accts second.
Just admire how open minded person you are. Wish more people think that way. I would love to see video for options for family with school aged children .
I feel like too many people ask Andrew how to save money on taxes, but they dont want to pay the high prices to live in luxury places, or even 150k for St Kitts. The problem isnt the taxes folks, its the MONEY. Get the money up! Always love your videos Andrew. Will give you a call in the future when the millions are in the pocket for you to help me live the oligarch lifestyle. I think you should come out with some Tshirts, I'd buy one. Just make sure the material is soft ;-).
So if one has EU passpprt ans St Kitts & Nevis passport: how can one justify in to the European Union tax authority that the 500.000 € he's transferring each year from SK&N to euros is taxed correctly in SK&N?

As a stepping stone, Puerto Rico Act 22 0% capital gains makes the "unrealized capital gains" exit tax problem a whole lot easier, assuming all your gains are PR or aged into PR.
@@gu3sswh075 Many factors, depends on when you acquired. As a PR resident, your public market trades are PR (and thus 0% if act 22). US real estate is always taxed in the US. etc.
I made all of my money, and now I am relocating to France and become semi retired. Reason being, I am moving there with my spouse, we are going to start a family, and I don't want to pay for health care, education, and car transport for my family.

Nevis LLC and trusts are good one and move your profit to a nevis LLC private plane or taxi company 😂. Nevis LLC is one of the best in the world. then live in a country which doesnt tax on forgien income. That would be my plan caymen tax resident is only 90 days and I would travel to diffrent countries every couple of months depending on the requirements of that country.
Fantastic video, more videos!! I'm Canadian, so a video for the dummies to the north would be much appreciated. Can't tell you how informative I found this top be, despite only owning property in the states. I like your breakdown of each individual country, and their policies. Again if you could touch on some of the British Overseas Territories it would be awesome, maybe Bermuda?
If your a US citizen, and want to keep your citizenship. You can also move to another state to reduce your income tax. Assuming most of your work is computer or internet-related or at least mobile/flexible work. You can't do anything about the federal tax but you can reduce your state tax.
New topic idea? I was researching different health systems and where the best hospitals in the world are. Many are in the USA but there are several in Thailand. Comparing the systems, tiers, and efficiency of health care in different locations would be great. That matters a lot for a long term residence choice and is hard to find unbiased facts on. Some supposed best of lists still have Canada and the UK high up even though the system in those places has major problems.
It is not mentioned in the video, and maybe is not that sexy as other countries but Kuwait is still 0% taxes, the only country left in the Golf and the most powerful currency in the world. Qatar just launched a program where companies can be 100% Foreign Ownership and they haven't implemented VAT yet. The Golf has changed a lot, and it's more open to westerns. It's nice over the winter ;)
Andrew raises awareness of tax implications of citizenship, residency and place of incorporation, and these are different, separate components. What I would hope to see addressed in future videos are the quality of life aspects in the low tax or tax haven countries. The Caribbean gets battered by hurricanes all the time. What kind of school quality and eco system do kids have access to in Malta? Can I get access to quality and affordable healthcare? Can I fit into my new country, if I am of a different race, ethnicity or religion, or don't speak the language quite well? Sentiments towards 'rich' expats or immigrants? Etc.
Would like to know more about other US territories like Guam regarding their viability as a tax haven. Hard to find straightforward information anywhere except old articles from the early 2000s online. Please do a video on this! It would be so helpful!!
Guam, US virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and Northern Marianna Islands Are relatively good for taxes however there just not worth living in, some also have weird regulations for foreigners, land ownership, regional legal systems and tax law. Also American Samoa is blacklisted as a tax Haven by the European Union so if your a physical company it mightn't be a good idea to move there. The better of the 5 are definetly Puerto Rico, American Samoa followed by Guam, Northern Marianna Islands and The US virgin Islands. (US Virgin Islands, Northern Marianna Islands and Guam have high corporation and relatively high income tax rates, however I believe there may be corporation tax structures to lower them substantially. (Even then it's still not really worth it (unless you want to keep US citizenship) in which case I'd recommend Puerto Rico, since it's also closer to the US, the downside is the unforeseeable future, it may become a state or have changing tax regulations, thus I'd recommend British or French overseas territories, or independent sovereign nations like Malta.
I want to live in a tax haven someday and pay zero tax. B-) I love to live in St. Kitts and Nevis, esp., for the sake of citizenship by investment. B-)
Puerto Rico is a nice stepping stone to reduce taxes and learn Spanish. Then you can research South America for changing your citizenship; most of that continent speaks Spanish.
He was well established and quite wealthy when he moved, and he moved to an expat community with a lot of amenities. That changes the quality of the experience quite a bit.
Funny you should mention Nicaragua - we've been living in Nicaragua since the start of the Covid pandemic. We were briefly considering applying for residency or citizenship so we wouldn't have to apply for visa extensions month to month. Perhaps this is something we should look into further!
Bottom line, there’s no quick fix. You have to get citizenship in another jurisdiction and then you can renounce. Then for the next seven years, the United States is going to continue to tax you on any income that you derive from the United States. Andrew, please correct me if this incorrect.
Please correct me if I'm wrong: You don't need a CITIZENSHIP somewhere once you renounce your US citizenship. You merely need a passport of another country. So I can (1) Offshore my business to Panama or Malaysia or somewhere else (2) Get a passport from Mexico/Russia/Bulgaria etc etc... (3) Renounce my US citizenship (4) Have 2-3 homes I bounce from throughout the year and pay ZERO taxes both PERSONAL and CORPORATE. Am I wrong???
Boristien405 what you could do is transfer 100% of your income, before taxes, into real estate and you can buy and sell properties I think within five months but I'm not 100% sure how long it is if you continue doing that over and over and over you could literally not pay any taxes at all for the rest of your life. I think it's called the 1031 exchange. I don't know if this just applies to tax free states such as Florida and Texas, or if it applies to the whole country. But definitely do some more research on the 1031 exchange based on federal and state laws
What if one is in a country that taxes only residents on their world-wide income, but not non-residents who are taxed only on their income derived from the country? What is the place with a reasonable cost of living and low taxes that a resident of this country can move to to avoid or minimize capital gains tax?
US citizens with personal worth (not just cash or liquid assets, but rather total assets) of more than $2m will have to pay an exit tax of 25% on the amount over $2m to renounce their US citizenship.
Can you please do a video on the specifics of operating an offshore company by the books? For example can I still run my business from my home in Florida but still get outside of US business tax net?
Thank you Andrew. I do have a question though, If someone did manage to achieve this on their own due to their own drive and will following your advice from your book, website and RUclips, (and they had a nationality that you work with such as UK), and they achieved your income requirements (i.e $100k+), would you help them check if they managed to do things correctly, and need any optimisation?
Hi Andrew, I like your videos. I am going to retire hopefully the end of the year in Canada, want to become a full-time trader/investor and pay either no tax or less tax on capital gain or income from investment, what are my options about where I should get a residence to do that? I'm thinking about moving to either Andorra or Portugal, any advice would be appreciated.....
Hello. Unfortunately Monaco does not grant you citizenship after 12 years of residence, takes a long time and it really depends on the government, basically you have to prove over many many years to be worth being granted the passport. I know because i live and grew up in Monaco. The residence status is three level: temporary residence for three months, ordinary 5 years and privilege 10 year residence.
@@nomadcapitalist Hi, Andrew. You mentioned in your video that Thailand is a territorial tax country, but the "international taxation" page in Wikipedia says they're residential. Are they wrong?
I am a U.S. citizen with a remote online business based in south dakota. I am curious as to whether any of this information has changed in the past 3 years, particularly concerning Puerto Rico?
So, if you have a company in a zero corporate tax country you will not pay corporation tax there. However, does this zero tax applies to the non resident owner of that company?
Can you redo this video, but add the variable where the person is a dual-citizen of the UK looking to become a non-domicile person living part-time in Ireland, Malaysia, and Whatnot? Is Airbnb an option for all other residences besides your main residence in a 0-10% tax country?
How about the US Territory of Guam? There is a movement on to make Puerto Rico a US state. . . but not Guam. Also, Okinawa was claimed by the US as a US territory but the US agreed to allow Japan to administer, tax, and govern the island. There are many US citizens who have retired to Okinawa. Would Guam or Okinawa have tax haven benefits for those US citizens deciding to relocate themselves and their business to either Guam or Okinawa?
When should I start focusing on moving both company & myself overseas? I'm a US citizen making around 100k/yr online with all my team not in the US aswell.
I am in same situation but from Europe. If you work online you can try Panama: USD currency, 0% income tax on income generated outside Panama, around 1500 USD for company establishment + bank account, 30-100USD / month "maintenance" of company and bank account.
Would something like this even be worth while for a US citizen retired at 55, no company, living off of 401k and IRA investment portfolio total in assets worth of about 1- 1.5 million, withdrawing about 40k/year? US Tax rate would be fairy low but 0 or 4% sounds better.. is it worth the hassle?
Jeff Lam I think you have to pay taxes for the local SALES taxes for the province/state that you sell in. Your business taxes and income related taxes will be reduced if you move to a tax savings, we still have to consider the state and province that you're selling in. You'll pay much more taxes selling in California than you will if you sell in Texas for example
What about Montenegro? I was told by this tax expert there that if I live there for over 183 days of the year and renounce my US citizenship, I will reap their 9% tax rate
I actually lived in Belize for 5 years and have my Belize Residency now (as of 2018). I have a US-based LLC - would I want to change that to a Belize company or what would be best to do for taxes? I currently do not live in Belize but easily could again. I do not want to renounce my USA citizen status. I don't know if I will get my Belize Citizenship in another 5 years.
What about the US HEART law, which requires former us citizens to file taxes for a lengthy period (10 years? Or lifetime?) as if they were still in us. And, estate taxes still apply.
I wonder if there are any opportunities for high-tax countries like Belgium. I do like the BVI, but I don't think they have double-tax agreements with Belgium. And Belgium's nearly 0% capital gains tax is amazing btw.
Because, you're leaving your previous country. Probably for most of the rest of your life. Spending most of your time outside US. Why would you pay for something you aren't participating in?
I’m middle class now, and can’t afford to buy a citizenship but hold assets that may bring me into the millions. How do I protect myself from capital gains as a us citizen ?
Can you start in Saint Kites for immediate effect and simultaneously or shortly thereafter start the clock in Portugal ? I'm retired, no desire to start a business. Only thinking of low/no taxes can investment income, probably can not avoid SS or IRA taxes to US.
Business produces income in Seattle Washington, if I move and Incorporate a new business in Puerto Rico (acquire current LLC) then that income would then be taxed at 4%? Or does the business need to produce income in Puerto Rico for it to be taxed at 4%
Given all the China craziness, how has his HK situation been treating the Nomad? I have some HK college classmates who have actively moved out of HK because of China

Wow, a lot of information in 16 minutes. Thank you, you’re doing a great job 👏!
How about the US Territory of Guam? There is a movement on to make Puerto Rico a US state. . . but not Guam. Also, Okinawa was claimed by the US as a US territory but the US agreed to allow Japan to administer, tax, and govern the island. There are many US citizens who have retired to Okinawa. Would Guam or Okinawa have tax haven benefits for those US citizens deciding to relocate themselves and their business to either Guam or Okinawa?
When should I start focusing on moving both company & myself overseas?
I'm a US citizen making around 100k/yr online with all my team not in the US aswell.
i would love to know the answer that question aswell
I am in same situation but from Europe. If you work online you can try Panama: USD currency, 0% income tax on income generated outside Panama, around 1500 USD for company establishment + bank account, 30-100USD / month "maintenance" of company and bank account.
So once you renounce your US citizenship you can no longer freely live in US? or even visit? What about own real estate etc?
You can visit, you just have to apply for a visa for a longer stay, as a citizen of another country.
Great video do you have a video similar for Canadian resident
I have no use for this information at all I'm broke but, I've watched at least half dozen videos why am I watching another.
Subscribed. Great content
Welcome aboard!
Would something like this even be worth while for a US citizen retired at 55, no company, living off of 401k and IRA investment portfolio total in assets worth of about 1- 1.5 million, withdrawing about 40k/year? US Tax rate would be fairy low but 0 or 4% sounds better.. is it worth the hassle?
What do you mean by removing the US piece out of the equation if one was to get a St Kitts & Nevis Passport? Are US Citizens not able to have both?
What if I have a e-commerce business and I’m selling in the USA. If I move to a tax haven country will I still need pay taxes in the USA?
Jeff Lam We’d be happy to help you plan to achieve that.
Jeff Lam I think you have to pay taxes for the local SALES taxes for the province/state that you sell in. Your business taxes and income related taxes will be reduced if you move to a tax savings, we still have to consider the state and province that you're selling in. You'll pay much more taxes selling in California than you will if you sell in Texas for example
PR is the spot for that
Luv this video...the best one yet❗
Hello Andrew I need some information on moving to Malaysia with Canadian citizenship what are some quick options
What about Montenegro? I was told by this tax expert there that if I live there for over 183 days of the year and renounce my US citizenship, I will reap their 9% tax rate
I actually lived in Belize for 5 years and have my Belize Residency now (as of 2018). I have a US-based LLC - would I want to change that to a Belize company or what would be best to do for taxes? I currently do not live in Belize but easily could again. I do not want to renounce my USA citizen status. I don't know if I will get my Belize Citizenship in another 5 years.
What about the US HEART law, which requires former us citizens to file taxes for a lengthy period (10 years? Or lifetime?) as if they were still in us. And, estate taxes still apply.
I wonder if there are any opportunities for high-tax countries like Belgium. I do like the BVI, but I don't think they have double-tax agreements with Belgium.
And Belgium's nearly 0% capital gains tax is amazing btw.
Business Crusader There are opportunities for anyone looking to go where they’re treated best.
All right. Genuine question here : how is this not tax evasion ?
Because, you're leaving your previous country. Probably for most of the rest of your life. Spending most of your time outside US. Why would you pay for something you aren't participating in?
This is tax avoidance. Which is legal.
I’m middle class now, and can’t afford to buy a citizenship but hold assets that may bring me into the millions. How do I protect myself from capital gains as a us citizen ?
How about becoming a non-domicile by not staying longer than 90 days in any country?
Do you have a video on how to move to Puerto Rico and obtain the benefits?
What if you already have a real estate business in a non tax haven that can't be moved ?
Can you start in Saint Kites for immediate effect and simultaneously or shortly thereafter start the clock in Portugal ? I'm retired, no desire to start a business. Only thinking of low/no taxes can investment income, probably can not avoid SS or IRA taxes to US.
Great video!! I am from Costa Rica!!... Thanks for the heads up!
Does Puerto Rico tax rates apply to Canadians who have business in the US or just US citizens?
Sick and tired of cold weather
I am British Citizen Is the BVI a tax haven lower tax than England ?? I pay at the moment 45% tax personal tax nex year will be 40% will earn less
Business produces income in Seattle Washington, if I move and Incorporate a new business in Puerto Rico (acquire current LLC) then that income would then be taxed at 4%? Or does the business need to produce income in Puerto Rico for it to be taxed at 4%
Given all the China craziness, how has his HK situation been treating the Nomad? I have some HK college classmates who have actively moved out of HK because of China
