There are so many great places in the world to move into and for digital nomads, this can be a dilemma.
But one thing that can make it easy to make that decision is tax laws.
Every country has tax laws but some are more favorable than others for digital nomads earning an online income.
Some countries have tax laws that mandate residents to pay as high as 40% income tax which can be too much of a dig on a person’s finances.
Fortunately, there are also many countries that have zero or very little income tax and many also come with incredible scenery and opportunities for plenty of adventures.
Antigua and Barbuda is one such country with zero income tax which makes it one of the best places in the world for digital nomads.
Without further ado, say goodbye to extremely high taxes and prepare to dive into a tax haven where the atmosphere is perfect for growing personal income, becoming rich, and enjoying life to the fullest.
Some countries, like the U.S., still require their citizens to pay taxes no matter where they reside or work. Be sure to read up on your country’s (and state’s) laws before embarking on a digital nomad relocation.
Why Travel To Antigua And Barbuda?
Antigua and Barbuda is an island country in the Caribbean that’s made up of two main islands, Antigua and Barbuda. Antigua is the largest of the islands in size and population and it is home to the country’s capital city St. John and other smaller settlements.
There are many beautiful places to visit throughout Antigua and Barbuda, making it an ideal destination for digital nomads who can travel more easily than 9-to-5-ers.
Barbuda is the second-largest island in the country and it is far less developed compared to Antigua with the town of Codrington being its only major settlement.
The country is also made up of other smaller islands like the Great Bird Green, York, Guiana, Long, Maiden, Green, Prickly Pear, and Redona. While some of these small islands are private, the majority are open to the public, and they all host interesting wildlife and beautiful beaches.
Antigua and Barbuda has an interesting history that dates back to the pre-colonial times around 3100 BC when it was first inhabited by the Taino people who were hunters and gathers.
Around 1493, Christopher Columbus (who was sailing the world at the time with a unique itinerary) found the islands, and soon they came under British colonial rule.
In November 1981, the island gained independence, and now it is a member of the Commonwealth with Charles III as its head of state.

It is tremendously difficult to get assistance you need and want for a successful business. Your business is about doing US work but just having an office in Antigua for ease of clients and yourself. Do not think it will be considered objectively your applications to begin business.
You can not out-stream stupidity.
The article written as promotional material assumes that not charging for a work permit or income taxes is an attractive reason for the so called Digital Normad to choose Antigua and Barbuda.
It’s a tiny factor, of minimal weight when deciding to work from abroad.
The technology industry is known for bringing efficiency to life in all its forms.
With Antigua and Barbuda the poor customer experience and overall bureaucracy that’s encountered when dealing simple mundane things is a big turn off for Digital Normads.
First, what it takes to get a Digital Normad Visa is daunting experience of bureaucracy and indifference for a demographic group where “experience” is a major factor. Take into account Digital Normads are not going to Sandals, The Royalton or Elite Resorts where they create their own unique experiences. The experience is what they encounter as a resident.
Second, the consistency and strength of internet connection is of outmost value. Antigua and Barbuda is unattractive in that regard. The internet reliability is atrocious when compared to alternative countries.
Second: The cost and quality of accommodation is a disadvantage for Antigua and Barbuda. When the Government institute accommodation taxes on home owners with AirBandB to satisfy the hotel industry it has an adverse impact on the cost of the typical accommodation for the digital normad. The cost of accommodation and food is three to four times many LATAM countries.
Thirdly: The Digital Normad idealizes working from a beach deck with quiet areas so they can retreat in order participate in company conference calls or speak with clients.
Fourth: Beyond price, comfort and safety, digital normads are looking for “Experiences”; Shirley’s Height and Nelson Dockyard is not enough to counter the experience of dirty smelly rundown Saint Johns City with its belligerent people. I say belligerent for people step in-front of you when you are stranger; and get served at the bread shop or fish market and should you challenge them or the server you are subjected to some bad-words which you aren’t familiar with, but certainly to their expressions of contempt.
Cars with blacked out windows and the music playing pushes you off the road with not sidewalks. Derelict buildings from colonial days, many with asbestos roofs sits waiting for some attention. A clap trap of shantytown buildings except for a few.
Displaying the preverbal photo from Shirley’s Height down to Dockyard and beyond is very limited experience of what it’s like to live among the locals.
This promotion article is an expansion of the idea of tax free FDI; by those who have no clue why millennials and Zs are looking for as digital normads.
