foreign-sourced income
you don't understand what this means. if you are living in portugal, working from your laptop, that is locally sourced income. this does not refer to where the money comes from. realistic sources of foreign income is dividends/rental property. any kind of labour is not going to count
probably like 70 m2. its a kind of loft
Currently Paris for 1400/month
Let's imagine you make 100k a year. You pay 50% in taxes, and then maybe 3k a month for rent food and whatever. You have 14k left for savings and investments. If you work for 45 more years, you might have a million saved up! Now you can enjoy retirement at 70!
Alternatively, you move to (Dubai, Cyprus, Bulgaria, etc) and pay 10% in taxes. Your rent is also probably a lot less. Now you are saving 60k a year. Your savings just quadrupled! In 15 years, you will have a million dollars invested, and you can retire at 40!
It's clear to me that taxation is theft, and is a system for wage enslavement nowadays. They will take every penny they can, and waste it on enormous ineffeciency. Many countries offer reasonable, competitive tax rates, with good QoL, roads, health care, etc. The biggest lie we've been told is that paying half your salary is fair, necessary, or the moral thing to do
No, I'd like to opt out. I don't want to be robbed by my government by the barrel of the gun. I can manage myself just fine, and there is plenty of countries offering competitive tax rates
Because it matters where the work is performed. In the case of rent or dividends, it's passive income so it's considered to be originating from the other country.
