The FIRE Exit
Glossary

Wealth tax

An annual tax on the total value of your assets above a threshold, rather than on your income. A few countries levy one (Spain, Norway, and Switzerland among them), while most do not.

What it means for you

If you retire somewhere with a wealth tax it becomes a recurring cost on your portfolio, so it is worth factoring in; rules vary by country.

See it in numbersWhere You Live Taxed when you sell, or taxed just for existing? Over a decades-long exit the difference is enormous. See the shape of it.
