Austria
Europe
Austria has no digital nomad visa, and running your own company from an Austrian home office can drag the whole company into Austrian tax residency, a real trap for founders. Crypto disposals are taxed at a flat 27.5 percent, though crypto-to-crypto swaps are exempt by statute and pre-2021 holdings stay permanently tax free, and becoming resident starts a 27.5 percent exit tax clock that expressly names crypto.
