Qatar
Qatar does not tax salaries, and a resident individual's investment income and private gains are generally untaxed, with no VAT yet and a UK treaty in force. It is a weaker base for a founder than the UAE: foreign-owned company profits pay 10%, business income of individuals is taxed, and the only self-directed residence route is buying property from about USD 200,000.
Latitax verdict
No personal income tax; residence through property from about USD 200,000.
Ideal for: Investors comfortable with a quieter Gulf base.
