How countries tax your income

Compare personal and corporate tax systems, then explore the rules and exceptions behind each classification.

Select a country to inspect its rule and sources.

Colour describes the researched baseline. Special regimes and exceptions are explained in each country. Grey means not covered by this comparison; it does not mean no tax or no rule.

What the classifications mean

Worldwide

Residence normally brings domestic and foreign income into the tax base. Exemptions, credits and treaties can change the amount ultimately payable.

Territorial

The tax base primarily follows where income arises. Source rules matter: a foreign customer, account or company does not by itself make income foreign-source.

Remittance-based

For the relevant taxpayer or income category, bringing foreign income into the country can affect taxation. Residence, domicile, timing and the nature of the funds matter.

Mixed or conditional

Different rules apply according to nationality, residence history, income type, exemptions or substance. Read the conditions instead of treating the colour as a verdict.

No general income tax

No broad income tax of the relevant type is identified. Other taxes, social charges, business taxes and foreign-country obligations may still apply.

Special regimes

A temporary exemption, flat-tax election or non-dom treatment can differ from the baseline. These programmes are recorded separately in the country guides.
