> What a solo software founder's company profit really costs across 43 jurisdictions, 2026 rules. Every number is all-in: corporate and personal tax, social security, mandatory accountants and audits, forced leases and days on the ground, one-time setup. Includes relocation processes (day-by-day), origin-country exit rules, and honest verdicts. Researched July 2026. Not tax advice.

Notes for agents:
- Effective rates here are ALL-IN (they include rent and living costs the scheme forces), so they read higher than pure tax rates. The itemized breakdowns separate tax from living.
- 'vehicle' matters: 'company' means profits can wait inside a company you own; 'llc' means a US LLC that shields liability but whose income is personally taxed the moment it is earned; 'personal' means sole-trader style, no shield.
- The recurring trap across all pass-through setups: until the founder actually moves, their current country taxes everything. Company setups (Cyprus, Estonia, etc.) allow incorporating remotely first and moving later.
