This means that territorial taxation applies to every foreigner in England, but not to English people in their own country.  <\/p><p>This means that if you are not English, you will not be subject to UK foreign tax laws. The only exception to this is that the money you earn is only tax-free until you bring it into the country. The situation in Thailand is similar but better.    <a href=\"https:\/\/rmdigitallife.com\/steuerfrei-in-thailand\/\">More on this here!<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d68348e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d68348e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Known non-dom countries<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0455b1c elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"0455b1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-exclamation\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M176 432c0 44.112-35.888 80-80 80s-80-35.888-80-80 35.888-80 80-80 80 35.888 80 80zM25.26 25.199l13.6 272C39.499 309.972 50.041 320 62.83 320h66.34c12.789 0 23.331-10.028 23.97-22.801l13.6-272C167.425 11.49 156.496 0 142.77 0H49.23C35.504 0 24.575 11.49 25.26 25.199z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><b>Malta<\/b> (taxation: only if income is brought into the country)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-exclamation\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M176 432c0 44.112-35.888 80-80 80s-80-35.888-80-80 35.888-80 80-80 80 35.888 80 80zM25.26 25.199l13.6 272C39.499 309.972 50.041 320 62.83 320h66.34c12.789 0 23.331-10.028 23.97-22.801l13.6-272C167.425 11.49 156.496 0 142.77 0H49.23C35.504 0 24.575 11.49 25.26 25.199z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><b>United Kingdom<\/b> (taxation: only if income is brought into the country)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-exclamation\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M176 432c0 44.112-35.888 80-80 80s-80-35.888-80-80 35.888-80 80-80 80 35.888 80 80zM25.26 25.199l13.6 272C39.499 309.972 50.041 320 62.83 320h66.34c12.789 0 23.331-10.028 23.97-22.801l13.6-272C167.425 11.49 156.496 0 142.77 0H49.23C35.504 0 24.575 11.49 25.26 25.199z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><b>Cyprus (south!)<\/b> 60+ days in the country = stay\/residence (= tax-free dividends, interest and investment income!)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-exclamation\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M176 432c0 44.112-35.888 80-80 80s-80-35.888-80-80 35.888-80 80-80 80 35.888 80 80zM25.26 25.199l13.6 272C39.499 309.972 50.041 320 62.83 320h66.34c12.789 0 23.331-10.028 23.97-22.801l13.6-272C167.425 11.49 156.496 0 142.77 0H49.23C35.504 0 24.575 11.49 25.26 25.199z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><b>Ireland<\/b> (taxation: only if income is brought into the country)  <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-exclamation\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M176 432c0 44.112-35.888 80-80 80s-80-35.888-80-80 35.888-80 80-80 80 35.888 80 80zM25.26 25.199l13.6 272C39.499 309.972 50.041 320 62.83 320h66.34c12.789 0 23.331-10.028 23.97-22.801l13.6-272C167.425 11.49 156.496 0 142.77 0H49.23C35.504 0 24.575 11.49 25.26 25.199z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><b>Thailand<\/b> (since 2024): No non-dom state, but same taxation from 2024.

At the top of the list are the <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vereinigte_Arabische_Emirate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United Arab Emirates<\/a> (*link to Wikipedia). This includes Dubai, among others. There is no income tax here and no corporation tax either.   <\/p><p><strong>Addendum to<\/strong> <strong>Dubai:<\/strong> Since 2023, companies have to pay <strong>9% corporate tax<\/strong>! There is an allowance of up to approx. 100,000 USD on profits (for private individuals and &#8220;free zones&#8221; in the UAE turnover allowance of approx. 270,000 USD)   <\/p><p>The UAE has a double taxation agreement with Germany, which is a good thing. However, you should also be deregistered in Germany and have no residence in Germany, otherwise you will be taxed according to German law! <\/p><p>Other countries include Qatar and Oman. In these Islamic countries, only the oil sector or banks are usually taxed. <\/p><p>Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Bahrain, Brunei, Cayman Islands, Kuwait, Monaco, Pitcairn Islands, Saint Barth\u00e9lemy, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Turks and Caicos Islands, United Arab Emirates, Vanuatu, Vatican City (only priests live there!), Wallis and Futuna, Western Sahara, North Korea (who wants to go there?)<\/p><\/div><div><h3>Which taxation or tax systems are best for you?<\/h3><p>Of course, many people are now crying out for countries that don&#8217;t levy any taxes at all in order to be completely tax-free. However, these are all Islamic countries and it is up to each individual to decide whether they can cope with the culture of these countries. <\/p><p>But for the purpose of founding a company abroad, e.g. in <a href=\"https:\/\/rmdigitallife.com\/en\/founding-a-company-abroad-100-tax-free-with-the-canada-llp\/\">Canada<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/rmdigitallife.com\/en\/set-up-a-us-llc-company-in-the-usa-for-a-tax-free-life\/\">USA<\/a>, and living abroad with a minimum of taxes compared to German taxation, one of the aforementioned tax systems is highly recommended.<\/p><p>Especially as a digital nomad, when you have all the freedom in the world, you should consider the topic of taxes so that you don&#8217;t have a rude awakening in countries such as Thailand.

So if you live in Indonesia, for example, both domestic and foreign income are taxable. If you live in Paraguay, for example, domestic income (e.g. Airbnb rentals) is taxable but foreign income (e.g. sale of digital products or services via your LLC or LLP) is excluded!  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fd049a elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"6fd049a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe class=\"airtable-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/embed\/appwzcb25lA0S3FUy\/shrxJS7lIVwkrWJ1a?backgroundColor=grayDusty&amp;viewControls=on\" frameborder=\"0\" onmousewheel=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"533\" style=\"background: transparent; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"><\/iframe><div class=\"tve_iframe_cover\"><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of contents (&#8230;open here!)
