Come to Albania, should be easier for italians. Assuming you work remote, no taxes until ~$120K, then it's 15% of profit.

On your wage, you'll pay $50/month economist + $80/month health/pension + $80/month municipal taxes.

These taxes changed this year. Previous year it was 5% if you pass $50K and 15% if you surpass ~$120K.




The only drawback is that insurance companies don’t insure your car inside Albania for whatever reason.


Can you be more explicit ? Minimum car insurance is mandatory, and you can pay for full insurance if you want.


Full insurance in European Union often has explicit exception for Albania if you bring your car from there.


If you live in Albania you'll have to do the local insurance. I dont know how it is with foreign license plate.


Albania also has great sea, amazing food and welcoming people


Do you have a source for this?

The thing is that remote programming is considered "export" and export has no VAT. The numbers above are literally the taxes I paid in 2021 & 2020 (I paid the 5% of profit tax on 2020). I may have missed any small thing like $14/month for electronic signature & software. Mostly less than $500/year in all other things combined.

Edit: By "taxes changed this year" on parent comment, I meant in 2021. Not in 2022.
