A legal and fiscal journey for families and businesses
Understanding Relocation to Andorra
In our series "International Mobility - A legal and fiscal journey for families and businesses," we delve into the critical aspects that family businesses and private clients must consider when relocating to Andorra. This article focuses on tax considerations for those contemplating Andorra as their new home.
Why Consider Andorra?
Andorra has become an attractive destination for individuals and businesses seeking favorable tax conditions within Europe and a high quality of life. With the changing economic and fiscal landscape of European countries, Andorra stands out as a residency option with a tax framework aligned with the OECD, providing security and confidence to residents due to the stability of its legal and fiscal system. Additionally, its geographical location facilitates mobility and cultural adaptation for many expatriates.
Tax Considerations
1. Personal Income Tax
One of the main attractions of Andorra is its progressive personal income tax system, with a maximum rate of 10%. This rate is considerably lower than that of many European countries, making it a significant financial advantage for high-income earners.
2. No Inheritance or Wealth Tax
Andorra does not have an inheritance or wealth tax, which is particularly beneficial for estate planning and wealth preservation. This feature makes Andorra an attractive option for those looking to secure their family's financial future without a high tax burden.
3. Corporate Tax
Companies relocating to Andorra can benefit from a corporate tax rate of 10%. Moreover, the principality offers incentives for specific industries, particularly those in the technology and innovation sectors.
