CFC rules apply in one jurisdictionReview

Uruguay 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.

Special tax regime available in one jurisdictionNote

Georgia (Small Business Status / Virtual Zone IT Company), Uruguay (Impatriados - 11-year tax holiday on foreign capital income) offer a qualifying program that may exempt foreign-source income from local tax. This can significantly reduce your effective rate compared to the standard regime.
