Frequently Asked Questions — Best Tax Havens in Eastern Europe 2025 — Ranked
Eastern Europe combines low flat income tax rates (Bulgaria 10%, Romania 10%, Georgia 1–20%), low cost of living, accessible residency pathways, and — for EU countries — the benefits of the single market. Georgia in particular has become a hub for crypto entrepreneurs and digital nomads.
Georgia offers Virtual Zone status to IT companies, allowing them to pay 0% corporate tax on income generated from clients outside Georgia. Combined with the territorial tax system for individuals, Georgia is one of the most tax-efficient jurisdictions in Eastern Europe for tech entrepreneurs.
Bulgaria operates a worldwide income tax system, but the 10% flat rate is one of the lowest in the EU. It also has an extensive treaty network. Compared to Georgia's near-territorial approach, Bulgaria is more suitable for EU-based operations where treaty access matters.
