Tax Free residence in Andorra
Andorra is prosperous with minimal government and taxation, Andorra's per capita GDP was calculated at USD 42,500 in 2007.
Tourism is by far Andorra's biggest earner accounting for more than 80% of GDP.

For 715 years Andorrans lived under a unique co-principality, ruled by French and Spanish leaders. In 1993, this feudal system was modified with the titular heads of state retained, but the government transformed into a parliamentary democracy that achieved considerable prosperity since World War II through its tourist industry, attracting many immigrants to the thriving economy with its lack of income taxes.

The Weather in Andorra reflects that of the Pyrenees, an agreeable temperature, cool in summer and snowy cold in winter.
The terrain and the climate together make for excellent skiing. People living in Andorra pay no taxes on profits, dividends or income, and with the exception of real estate, no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax.

To encourage immigration by high net worth individuals the Government offers Passive Residence Permits, which are subject to a quota which is determined periodically according to the "economic and social needs of the Principality of Andorra".
