How this table is built
High-net-worth relocators often ask which countries still charge annual wealth tax. In our coverage set, most profiles show 0% net wealth tax; a minority retain or discuss wealth-type levies.
This table is generated from each country’s wealth-tax page. Treat 0% as “no general net wealth tax in our summary,” not “no tax on assets at all.”
Educational comparison — valuations, exemptions, and political reform risk need local advice.
How to read the columns
- Headline wealth tax is the general net wealth / net worth rate from the country page.
- Secondary column may show asset tax, property tax, or filing notes when stored as rates.
- Property tax is not the same as net wealth tax; country pages explain the difference.
- Sort low → high to see remaining positive wealth-tax jurisdictions in the set.
Important caveats
- Property, land, and luxury taxes can apply without a net wealth tax.
- Wealth tax proposals can change quickly; check last-updated dates.
- Foreign assets may still be in scope if you are a worldwide-tax resident elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
Which countries still have a wealth tax?
Only a subset of countries maintain a broad annual net wealth tax. Sort this table high → low or scan for non-zero headlines in our coverage, then read the country page for thresholds and exemptions.
Is property tax a wealth tax?
Usually no. Property tax is typically an annual levy on real estate value or rental value, not on total net worth. We keep property notes on country pages so they are not confused with net wealth tax.
Does moving to a 0% wealth-tax country protect foreign assets?
Only if you also break tax residence (and other connecting factors) in the old country. Exit taxes and CFC/personal worldwide taxation can still apply.
