Latitax

Methodology

How we know what we say

A wrong tax figure costs more than a missing one. Every figure on Latitax carries its source, the date it was checked, and one of three labels:

Verified

Read on a primary source: the tax authority, finance ministry, official gazette or legislation.

Secondary

From a Big-4 or professional summary, awaiting a read of the primary source.

Unverified

Could not be confirmed. Shown as indicative, never hidden as fact.

Current coverage

40 deep profiles, 169 headline countries, 14 structures.

Profile figures: 234 verified · 353 secondary · 133 unverified

Which countries make the list

Latitax is not a colour for every country on earth. A jurisdiction is a destination only when a lawful move there genuinely removes or sharply cuts a wealthy person's tax, through a residence route a real person can obtain. The verdict is editorial, not a formula on headline rates, and each one states its reason.

How the data stays current

Official source pages are watched for changes. Questions the database cannot answer are logged, researched from primary sources and approved by a human editor before anything is published. Nothing is auto-published.

What Latitax is not

Latitax is research, not legal or tax advice, and it never assists with concealment or evasion. Your own position depends on your nationality, residence history, family, assets and treaties. Confirm any decision with a qualified professional in each country concerned.
