Countries With No CFC Rules 2026: How to Legally Keep Your Offshore Profits Tax-Free

Hey guys, today's a video on CFC rules

or whatever its position of economic

management or CFC rules on where you can

live in the world in terms of tax

residency with uh much easier CFC CFC

rules to navigate by.

So, we're going to start off, get

straight into it. I'm Will from HPT

Group. Again, you probably already know

me. If you don't, welcome to the YouTube

channel. And uh I'm here to help you

with tax residencies, corporate

restructuring,

FinTech licensing, second passports,

whatever it is we serve the clients at

HPT Group.

We are not biased towards locations, but

obviously we will uh put out our

personal opinions as well and have a

lovely nice fair uh banterous

conversation. To say the least, if you

do know me, then definitely we'll have

some banter as well. But the UAE, number

one, is a great place you can have

position of economic management in

Cayman, BVI, other jurisdictions as

well. Really good place to park yourself

as a personal tax resident as well. Yes,

there's some TLC concerns. If you do

have property there and you can actually

prove that you live there uh while just

spending 90 days a year there and prove

your main interests are in the UAE,

different story. But typical

entrepreneurs under 4 500k will have to

be spending 180 186 189 days a year

there to prove that vital income, right?

Then we have Panama, no CFC rules. Costa

Rica, Monaco, Georgia, okay? Georgia is

a great interesting one. Would not live

there myself. I have lived there before

for a short period. I had a I had a

long-term a beautiful long-term rental

contract there. And you know, people

working out of Georgia, they're just

broke. At the end of the day, I left

there because it was just full of

absolute brokies, if that makes sense.

But then we have Paraguay. Paraguay, I'm

going to make a separate video on. I'm

not pro Paraguay at all. It's uh

Uh excuse my French, but

TLC status. You cannot go there

for three four days a year and expect to

get TLC status and that to be respected

by other global governments where you

originally come from.

Usually on the case, must be very

careful. Same as Georgia as well. You

got to spend a long time in Georgia as

well. Thailand, they have a new

remittance basis, which is currently in

a transition process, but we can see,

just like Bali, just like Indonesia,

this really push forward in regulation

in terms of the digital world and how

expats will be targeted moving forward.

One of the reasons why I left Thailand,

as you've seen in another video most

likely, I

>> [snorts]

>> used to have a great villa, great life.

I've lived in multiple villas in

Thailand, had a really really nice life

there. Again, my wife is Russian. It was

a really good place for us to move to.

But we left for our specific reason of

that changing foreign income uh tax.

Unfortunately, I do love Thailand today,

still miss it today. But as you can see,

I think we're okay, right?

Malaysia,

very interesting one. Again, you have to

spend a significant amount of time uh

about every 6 months mark in Malaysia to

actually get it. But CFC rules are

pretty not really regulated, right? So,

it's a great place to actually move to.

Philippines, there is no CFC rules in

domestic regulation, especially as a

foreigner. If you're a local citizen, it

is different, but if you are not a

citizen of Philippines and you are

living there, again, you can draw that

income from overseas

in a very sustainable, amazing manner.

I've looked at the Philippines myself to

live. Unfortunately, I could not find

the quality of villa that I would like

to actually live in. But I'm sure that

is and uh uh you know, it's it's a very

interesting place and there's some great

It's a very complex tax code and tax

law,

uh but there's some great things you can

do there.

I'm aware about them. I'm balls deep in

research within the Philippines tax code

and I really really want to learn it

full full inside and out.

Uh again, I'm not an expert on the

Philippines at all.

Again, I'm not a legal advisor either.

I'm just a consultant. But the

Philippines could be a fantastic place

to actually park for a you know, five

six seven months a year. Fantastic

lifestyle, fantastic villas.

Do your work, earn your money, head back

into Europe, whatever floats your boat.

Colombia, again, Colombia is a

territorial for sourcing income, right?

And again, Colombia, you know,

denationalized uh you know, a few

countries with the actual actual

regulation, right? Very interesting.

Same as Chile. We have got to assume

that as well.

Switzerland has a very flex So, I'm

going to move on to Europe. Switzerland

has a very flexible regime. Gave a lump

sum program.

Lived in Switzerland myself in Lugano,

also Zug. I love Bern. Never lived in

Bern myself, but Bern is one of my

favorite cities in the world. I'm going

to make a video of my top favorite

cities. Bern is number one, potentially

best. Singapore, it can be very flexible

in

Jersey and Guernsey,

extremely flexible. Obviously, zero

corporate tax. They allow you to earn

your companies wherever you want to.

That makes sense. Liechtenstein, Serbia

is an interesting topic. Cyprus,

potentially, but again, there is a

headline rate in Cyprus. So, it depends

where that company is. A little bit

complex over there. Bulgaria has very

low headline rates on corporation tax.

And again, Czech Republic, the same

story. Speaking, Croatia. We'll move on

to Croatia with

uh they have very relaxed CFC rules, uh

but it's in a transition process. It's

just going to move into Schengen.

And uh that that's one where you

wouldn't park your bus there because of

what's probably going to be coming, but

currently, it's very relaxed, very

flexible. They don't mind what goes on,

if that makes sense.

Other ones are Romania and Isle of Man

and Gibraltar. I used to live in

Gibraltar as well. I've lived in a fair

few countries. I've also lived in

Gibraltar myself. Isle of Man I've

actually never even been to, but we have

done and sold a lot of substance

residency and other services and

compliance services in the Isle of Man.

Could be a fantastic place, especially

if you are in the UK, but you do have to

spend 6 months there and then you can

benefit from those local corporate

structures and overseas corporate

structures in the Isle of Man. So, they

are the countries, guys. Isle of Man,

Romania, Croatia, Czech Republic, uh

Liechtenstein, Jersey, Cyprus, uh not

Siberia, Serbia, Singapore, Switzerland,

Chile, Colombia, the Philippines,

Malaysia, Thailand, Georgia, Paraguay,

Monaco, Costa Rica, Panama, and the UAE

are the best countries to have overseas

business in with a much more relaxed

approach to CFC regulation. Again, if

you wanted more info on this,

please let me know. You can apply to

become a client below. And other than

that, guys, see you later. Have a great

day and cheerio.
