For those looking to live income tax-free, countries with a tax-free system seem like the perfect choice. However, living in such places requires not only knowing about the absence of taxes, but also taking into account other financial factors, including rent, utilities and living expenses. Let's take a look at the four most affordable tax-free countries to relocate to in 2025, based on the analysis of a Euronews Business report.
