Tax Laws in Europe at a Glance

Sound tax planning with knowledge of the tax system in a particular jurisdiction is one of the most important and perhaps the trickiest pillars of business wisdom and personal financial health. Tax regulations are subject to frequent changes, so it is important to keep abreast of all the updates and amendments that may directly affect your well-being and plans. 

EU tax policy assumes that every Member State has its own national tax system, and the country in which you are a resident for tax purposes can generally tax your total income, whether earned or unearned globally. Taxable income includes wages, pensions, benefits, income from property or any other source, including business and capital gains from the sale of property from around the world. 

Some countries (for example, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Malta) are so much more attractive than others in terms of personal income taxes and taxation at large, that many private persons consider the perks of having a second “home”, changing the ‘domicile’, and/or business registration for the sake of beneficial tax implications. 

Whatever EU country you are choosing to become a tax resident of, you will pay the same taxes as its citizens. However, tax residency is different from citizenship or residency for immigration. It does not oblige and does not lead to a change of citizenship. The status of a tax resident (often referred to as a resident) is always subject to national requirements, such as a specified period of minimum stay in the country,  availability of a local physical address, the center of vital interests, the location of permanent job/business. 

Being unaware of legislation changes is not an excuse. In 2018-2021 many EU countries amended their tax rates and some taxation rules. Therefore we would like our readers to be fully informed, and this article sums up the main taxes and possible allowances/exemptions that you should be aware of if you develop your business or grow assets across Europe. Please note that this article covers data valid in 2021 and does not mention any amendments due in 2022. 

Moreover, specific changes have been made across European countries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impacts. This article does not focus on them, but you are welcome to refer to our experts for details.

As a bonus, you will find here short takes on our services across the EU and UK:
