Sweden

Europe

Sweden terminated its tax treaties with Portugal and Greece in 2022, leaving departing residents exposed to the ten-year tioarsregeln with no tie-breaker relief, and naturalisation just jumped from five to eight years with no protection for pending applications. The economic employer rule taxes hired-out work from day one outside a narrow safe harbour, while crypto is taxed flat at 30 percent with only 70 percent of losses deductible.
