Answer
There are several legal strategies to reduce tax burdens as a global investor or expat.
These include choosing an optimal tax residency, utilizing double taxation treaties, setting up international trusts, and investing via offshore holding companies. Many countries offer low- or zero-tax residency programs (such as UAE, Portugal NHR, or Singapore’s single-tier corporate tax system). It's critical to evaluate both your home country’s exit tax implications and the new country’s tax framework. Partnering with an international tax advisor ensures your structure remains compliant while minimizing unnecessary taxation.
