About ExpatLedger

ExpatLedger is an independent reference site in the expat & retiree taxation space. How every country taxes a foreigner who moves there.

What we do

ExpatLedger explains how every country taxes a foreigner who moves there — when you become a tax resident, whether your worldwide or only your local income is taxed, how a foreign pension and foreign capital gains are treated, which special expat, non-dom and flat-tax regimes exist, and the US-citizen-abroad angle (the FEIE, the Foreign Tax Credit and totalization agreements). It is the angle that statutory-rate tables miss: the lived experience of relocating.

How we work

Each country profile is a committed static snapshot compiled from authoritative free sources — PwC Worldwide Tax Summaries, the OECD, the IRS US-treaty list and the SSA totalization list — cross-checked and dated. Every page is answer-first, carries a sourced table, and links its primary source. See our methodology for what we capture, how the ranking score works, and known limitations.

Not tax advice

Tax is a high-stakes, fact-specific topic that changes constantly. Everything here is general information, not tax advice. Verify against the primary source and consult a qualified cross-border tax professional before making any decision. See our disclaimer.
