15pp personal tax rate spreadNote

Both countries tax worldwide income, but the top personal income tax rates differ materially. Argentina: 35% vs Estonia: 20%. Both apply to all global earnings once you establish residency.

CFC rules apply in one jurisdictionReview

Argentina has Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) rules. Owning a foreign company as a resident may trigger local tax on undistributed profits - even if the company pays no dividends. The other countries in this comparison do not have CFC rules.

Not tax advice. Tax laws change frequently. Verify with a qualified professional before making residency decisions.
