Argentina is insanely cheap right now for foreigners (Buenos Aires and Istanbul are the 2 cheapest world class cities in the world) and a fantastic country. I've travelled all across the world and Argentina is an amazing to visit and live for a foreigner (extraordinary weather, food, great people, culture, women, nighlife and nature). On top of that it's still a relatively safe place (nothing like the rest of Latam, only Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Costa Rica are safe places there). But from a tax standpoint Argentina is very unattractive. It's actually a tax hell. Chile is more expensive and from a tax standpoint it is also becoming a tax hell as they're about to increase taxes even more in 2022 and introduce a very agressive wealth tax (copied from Argentina's wealth tax introduced in 2021). The only south american countries attractive from a tax standpoint are Paraguay and Uruguay. Paraguay is kind of a shithole though. Uruguay is a good place, it's a good trade off.

The country of Georgia, especially if you own an IT business of some sort that focuses on clients outside of Georgia. Dividends can be distributed tax-free if structured correctly. However, even if the company structure is not optimal, Georgia only has a 5% withholding tax on dividends.

@@skranz7790 I did a video maybe 10 months ago or something about how much harder banking has gotten in Georgia, that's the heart of it. They have eased up a bit since corona made them need money more but it's still not great at all good chance they close your account, don't allow certain types of transactions, etc. Then you've got a complete lack of credit card processing there, high rates, not much established fintech, not good for things like Paypal. It's a country with a lot of potential and for people who didn't need anything more than banking like say affiliates and crypto people it was really good for quite a few years but in the last 2 years they've really tightened up a lot and now we're very cautious about how we use it.

I'd say Luxembourg isn't great and isn't terrible but it depends a little on how you structure the income if that's an option to you at all. Generally, as an employee you've got less options available to you than if you're operating through a business.

@@MichaelRosmer Under the terms of the tax treaty between the US and France, "national pensions" from the US to a French resident are taxable only by the US, not France. Turns out that "national pensions" includes not only Social Security, but also distributions from IRAs, both TIRA and Roth. So, a middle-class American retiree who has adroitly managed to get all his financial assets into his IRAs so that his entire income consists only of SS and IRA distrbutions, will not pay any income tax in France. The very rich, with non-IRA assets worth more than 1.3 million euros would still be subject to the wealth tax however. But it's even better than that. Everyone who is resident in France can get the Sécurité Sociale health insurance. The tax that pays for your Sécu is based on your income, but that also excludes "national pensions," i.e. SS and IRA distributions. So, our American gets the Sécu free as well. It only remains to purchase out of pocket a "mutuelle," private insurance that covers the 20% of of health care costs not covered by the Sécu. The mutuelles are cheaper than the American equivalents that cover what Medicare does not. And these benefits are not time-limited. After five years of French residence with a carte de séjour, our American can either get permanent residence or citizenship in France. His US-sourced "national pension" income would remain untaxed by France.

None of this really helps US Citizens though right?
