Checked against official pages: the Cayman Islands, Monaco, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. On record and not yet checked: Antigua & Barbuda, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bermuda, Brunei, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, St Kitts & Nevis and Turks & Caicos.
Yes. Company tax applies in Monaco, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (25%, 15%, 10%, 9%). Most also raise money through fees, duties, social contributions or indirect taxes, and a residence permit usually asks for a minimum stay, a local address or an investment. The country guides list what Heed has on record for each.
Heed reads each figure from the country's own tax authority or government page, keeps the date it checked and rechecks on a rolling schedule and whenever that page changes. The top rate is the rate on the last band of income; what a person pays depends on their income, their residence and any regime they qualify for.
