Tax system mismatchCritical

Canada and Spain and Greece tax all worldwide income once you become a tax resident (top rate: 53.53%). Uruguay does not - only locally-sourced income is taxed. This is a fundamental structural difference that affects your total effective tax burden.

Exit tax applies in one jurisdictionCritical

Canada and Spain and Greece have an exit tax. If you establish residency and later wish to leave, you may owe tax on unrealized gains or assets at departure. The other country in this comparison does not have an exit tax.

Special tax regime available in one jurisdictionNote

Uruguay (Impatriados - 11-year tax holiday on foreign capital income) offers a qualifying program that may exempt foreign-source income from local tax for up to 11 years. This can significantly reduce your effective rate compared to the standard regime.

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