Tax rates and policies in Europe vary significantly where some countries have high tax burdens, while others have implemented tax regimes that are considered more favorable or competitive.
The EU countries have well-established tax laws, regulations, and enforcement mechanisms to ensure that individuals and businesses pay their taxes correctly and on time.
Over the years, countries in the European Union have seen a decline in tax rates as many countries took steps to attract businesses and encourage investments.
In this video, Andrew shares in which places in Europe he would consider living.

You have probably forgotten Estonia. We have no income tax on retained earnings. We have no property tax. We have no inheritance tax. In addition, the living environment in Estonia is ecologically clean and the living environment is safe, the locals know English and we are well connected to the rest of the world.

Perhaps things have changed but my own experience of the Milanese was far from grouchy. The service friendly & readily engaged in, & with, humour. Having admired a long shoe horn in one shop (minus the language in those days) I was presented it as a gift 💝// Re the ‘siesta takers’ - yes, it can initially present some inconvenience but one can adjust - it’s their country, their customs after all. When in Rome… 😊. And I’m sure that the Siesta Takers will attain a greater longevity than the non Siesta types caught up in the hustle and noisy bustle. I, for one, would much prefer to live well away from the glare & incessance of the 24hr open domains. Added to, I have never experienced “don’t toucha the clothes” either - thankfully - having always completed my shopping in Milano prior to moving on to my intended destination. Just putting in a word or two for Italy 😊 Obviously your personal experience differs, and as mentioned- perhaps times have changed. // People seem generally more grouchy and angry since the injectables….// All that aside, I love you, and your offerings. Keep being You. I, for one, always appreciated the chaps who wore scarves ; ))

My take on Geneva - it can be a viable option for some people. But it depends on the type of business you operate. For those that deal with international commodity type import/export activities, Geneva is one of the best places to have a base. I know a lot of traders are leaving Switzerland these days and going to Dubai, SIngapore etc. But the local network on the ground is very strong, still. In this business it's all about relationships and Geneva is pretty good for this. Monaco also has quite a few trading houses, but the network is not as deep as in Geneva.

I understand the grumpy comments. We stayed in an Airbnb in Salzburg. The host/owner said she spent 2 months in California, and couldn't wait to get home because she said people were overly friendly.!! She didn't understand the customer service people at stores, or restaurants who tried to make conversation!!! We talked about how that in the US, employees are trained to do that. We found in the Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany--all local workers were grumpy (compared to US people). We joked that they must have a clause on a job description that in order to be employed there, you must have a grumpy face!!..One of the only friendly servers we had was in Rome, she was Italian, but had been trained with Carnival Cruise Lines in Miami!! So now I don't expect the same service in Europe that I do in the US. We are friendly, but we found that wasn't returned in many places. Different culture!!

@tomv7986 5 ай бұрын

Culture difference indeed. Many people in Europe are pretty introverted. When I was in the US I also often thought "leave me alone" 😂 For Europeans the customer service in the US often does not feel genuine. You can just be yourself 😂 Which can also turn into bad service, I agree.

Other nearby beautiful towns are Vevey, Montreux, Verbier, Gstaad, etc... PS: Also you can buy lakefront properties but of course they come at a higher price (I for example got one at 22m CHF).

One interesting and important aspect of a country is the ability to order things online. So it would be very good to include this in future country comparisons. Can you order from amazon? What are the import taxes like if you order expensive items from overseas should there be no local amazon? Is the delivery service reliable, fast and convenient? What is the process like should you be required to pay import duties? Do you waste a day physically going to a customs office opening your parcel in front of the officers or can you pay online? Can you order groceries online, is there Uber, Grab, etc. It makes a difference. Thanks for your work.

Allmost zero crime, the world’s best climate, efficient police (making it unpopular with Somalian/other thugs ) breathtaking seafood, very clear air. Add in; incredible hill trails for cycling/dirt motorcycles/horseriding…Superb golf courses and Warm water sports on the coast. No litter on the beaches and lovely friendly (if a little shy) locals. You can have a fabulously diverse group of friends with Dutch, Canadian, German, French, South African and American friends here. If you are 55 or over I’d strongly recommend it. Under 50?

@@pinetworkminer8377 so many reasons I did not see while visiting before that I can not list here. Buying a house and living there has really put me off the country. To many negatives to list which outweigh the positives. 1 tax law for example the wealth tax seems dishonest and evil. 2. Lack of community social cohesion. I noticed a comment on a forum someone wrote; people are friendly and welcoming.( I experienced that in maybe 30% of cases I met some sweet people there.) Another person commented that not true; 'Dutch are well know for being arrogant cold hearted and unmannered' with 20 likes below that statement. From my personal experience the people in the Netherlands are not all Dutch as many immigrants are there also. But from my experience people and government tax authority are generally money grabbing cold hearted and without manners. For me it seems like an unfriendly place hard to do business too many strict rules. With modern architecture and perfect infrastructure. Also I guess the economy is looking shaky a bit like germany. With high oil and gas import costs as a lot of high value exports require imported gas and oil. My quality of life was much higher in england. And when you consider England is going down the toilet that's not saying much! I fell in love with the netheleands because of the efficiency and excellent cycling. Having lived there I now cannot wait to sell my house and leave. I will miss the quality supermarket food and efficiency also the cycling. But honestly I'm desperate to sell my house and leave now. People in other countries like Philippines ieland uk Canada etc are 100x more freindly on AVERAGE. It's not what I though it was and made me depressed. I now realise what a great culture other English speaking western countries have and miss the connections with warm freindly mannered unselfish people from those countries on average balance. The Netherlands is now officially in recession. However I still believe the economy is strong. If a bit overpriced for real estate etc. Yet what ever future I still can not justify living in a country that makes me feel depressed. Where other places make me feel good happy and more free.

I lived in Luzern for 13 yrs, was married to a Swiss guy so i understand the culture well. I much prefer the Ticino, swiss organization with a bit of Italian culture. Its farming and tourism so also a bit cheaper for full time living. Theres also Champione de Italia a bit like Andorra, i believe it tax free but expensive and difficult to get into. Lots of casinos, also in the Ticino area. The German-Swiss are a very closed culture and its very difficult to get a swiss passport. It my Austrian FIL 30 yrs!

If you're earning a US salary, Italy and Spain are relatively affordable. Heck, Oklahoma City is more expensive than many cities in Western Europe, and people aren't exactly scrambling to live in Oklahoma City! The monthly rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in the city center of Madrid is a bit over $1000 USD--more or less half of the average rent in many places in the US (normal, medium-sized cities). Combined with the cost you'd save not having to own a car like in the US, cheaper health insurance, and everything comes out to be a good amount cheaper than in the US. Really, the only major factor is if you're making US wages or local wages, because obviously, local wages can be quite poor.

Andrew, I think you looked at the wrong end of Lake Geneva/Lac Léman. At the eastern end you have Montreux and Vevey, both attractive waterside towns with some beautiful properties for sale (I saw a castle for sale recently!). You are right in the mountains at that end of the lake, with fabulous views across the lake to the French Alps and a lot of English speaking expats, including some famous people. If Montreux and Vevey are too small (both about 25,000 citizens) then Lausanne just the other side of the beautiful vineyards of the Lavaux is in my view a more attractive place than Geneva. I don't know if it still exists, but Ireland has/had a tax law that enabled creative people such as authors, film directors, composers etc to come and live permanently in Ireland free of income tax. My father, who was a writer, spent the last years of his life living in Cork. I can't spell it, let alone pronounce it, but the Art History Museum in Vienna is the finest art museum in the world. Even better than the Louvre. Whereas other top art galleries might have a single Breughel, the Art History Museum has an entire room full of them!

We have been betrayed again by central banker/royal related politicians. Brexit has been sabotaged. We still are tied to the worst aspects of it, and thus aren't nearly as better of than we would be if we had come out properly and entirely. Remember that the EEC and the EU are only relatively recent mid twentieth century organisations.
