Best Country for Trading (Tax efficiency)

[Zwaen]

Nothing, but if you are young, your only income is from trading, lots of daily trades ... I wonder if that would fit with Box 3.

Box 3, haha, you are dutch You are right on with the primary or sole income source.. Everything can change now though with the new 'Kabinet', though I bespoke with my accountant who lol about the fact BD could facilitate that change in tax within 2y. But who knows?

Well, I might be wrong, but my thoughts: AD, SG, HK, JP, and FL high costs of living and admittance/immigration restrictions; BG and HU higher tax rates; BG criminality. But you missed a lot of countries, last but not least Cyprus. And if you are as old as me : NL, til 2027

Cyprus may define trading income as personal income and pay personal income tax... up to 35%,NL seems good

I did some research through the internet and some countries will charge income tax since the speculative profits are my only income, and the tax rates seem to be much lower in BG and HU since they have a very low income tax cap.

Capital gains – Capital Gains from disposals of shares, bonds, debentures and other corporate titles or other legal persons incorporated in Cyprus or abroad and options thereon are exempt.

There is a capital gains tax of 20% levied on gains arising from the disposal of immovable property situated in Cyprus or the disposal of shares in companies that own Cyprus-situated immovable property. Shares listed on any recognized stock exchange are excluded from capital gains tax.

So the tax is applied just to real estate, may the property be held privately or within a corporate shell.
