Methodology and sources

The EverLatitude tax attractiveness index gives each country a composite score out of 10, based on how the main income streams of an expatriate are taxed: income, dividends, capital gains, inheritance, the existence of a special regime (inbound workers, retirees, non-dom, territorial taxation) and stability. A high score reflects an overall low tax burden and favourable schemes.

This score is an indicative comparison tool, not an official measure: your actual taxation depends on your situation (type of income, assets, family, applicable treaty). The data was checked in September 2026 and changes with reforms.
