Dutch exodus: I've been talking with multiple Dutch people considering relocating. Realistically, for 80% it's either UAE or somewhere else in Europe. Latin America is too far for many. My take: UAE is the cleanest exit. 0% income tax, 0% capital gains. Direct flights, massive expat network, world-class infrastructure. And the UAE will keep growing. The second approach is to optimise within Europe. This is what more people actually choose. Many want to stay close to family, don't want the cultural shift; some families simply won't do it. There are plenty of tax-optimised options with good international schools. The first ones that come to mind: 🇨🇾 Cyprus: 0% on foreign dividends, interest & capital gains for 17 years. 60-day rule. Best non-dom regime still standing. 15% corporate tax, plus all considerations from my recent post. 🇲🇹 Malta: evergreen. The non-dom lasts forever. Foreign capital gains always 0%. English-speaking. Though it's a small place, not for everyone. 🇨🇭 Switzerland: no capital gains tax. Lump-sum tax regimes available upon negotiation, for high net worth. Overall, the "stability play." Italy, Greece & Portugal also have special regimes, as you know well since I write about these constantly. Perhaps I'm biased because the people who DM me are already interested in Italy, but I'm surprised how many are considering Italy specifically; not necessarily for the flat tax, but for the 50% income exemption (impatriati regime). What else?
