Guyana
South America
Guyana is the fastest growing economy on earth, and Income Tax Act section 5 quietly gives anyone not ordinarily resident a statutory remittance basis, foreign income is taxed only on what is actually brought into the country. The catch is a treaty desert, just three tax treaties in force, and an oil-boom housing market where expat-suitable rentals are genuinely scarce and expensive.
