The more I read on Estonia, its tax system, its business & entrepreneurial culture, the transparency, etc.

The more attractive it is becoming to me.

Might fool around & move there.

Two weeks of your year are saved in Estonia by having all admin services done online:

- Online voting
- Online prescriptions
- Signing documents
- Starting a company & taking less than a day to register
- Taxes all done in one click

Heck, anyone can get an e-residency even.

Literally an online nation how we all predict that will be the way forward for nation states.

Unemployment vs Spain

I've visited twice. I'm not joking, I might move there! https://twitter.com/LifeTipsForMen/status/1352199405852569600

I haven't dived deep enough into self-employment, but the info I found that prompted my tweet:

- No taxes on dividends
- No taxes on profit if you reinvest in the company
- Income tax is at a flat rate no matter how much you make
- etc. https://twitter.com/cfowlerdesign/status/1352202382629875712

They'll give you back taxes if you make a loss, they only tax on your profits if you're profitable throughout the life of the business, etc.

Something which in Spain doesn't happen.

The general feel I get is that they encourage innovation & don't get in the way of your business

The main reason it started in Estonia was because they were broke & couldn't spend on government buildings & bureaucracy.

In our country there's too many living off the Administration for this to be supported...

Efficiency means many jobs lost. https://twitter.com/APaniagua11/status/1352203700954165249

As far as I'm aware, you don't need to live there to have an e-residency.

It's not exactly 100% Estonian nationality, but they offer their services, taxation, etc.

Here's their website: https://e-estonia.com/  & their Twitter is interesting: @e_estonia https://twitter.com/StayFoolisj/status/1352203920836227075
