British Virgin Islands
World-famous for companies, much harder to move to as a person. Investment income and gains are not taxed, but there is no investor or independent-means residence route: you come on an employer-sponsored work permit and can apply for Residence Status only after 10 years. Salaries carry payroll tax, social security and health insurance, and non-belongers need a government licence to buy land.
Latitax verdict
No personal income tax, but no investor residence route: residence status takes about 10 years.
Ideal for: People already living there through work or family.
