Liechtenstein
Europe
Liechtenstein charges 12.5 percent flat corporate tax and zero capital gains tax on private assets including crypto, but it is the one EEA state where EEA membership gives no right to live there, residence is capped at 56 economically active permits a year, half of them by lottery. The route that actually works is not residence at all, it is the Grenzgaenger commuter arrangement for someone based in Switzerland or Austria.
