This European country pays no income tax: more than a third of its population are millionaires

The article discusses Monaco's unique tax system, highlighting that most residents do not pay income taxes due to historical decisions dating back to 1869. This has made Monaco a symbol of wealth and luxury, often referred to as a 'tax haven.' The country generates revenue through value-added taxes, tourism, banking, and a highly profitable real estate market. While many residents benefit from this low-tax environment, the cost of living is extremely high, particularly housing prices, which are among the most expensive in the world. The article notes that individuals must prove financial stability and secure adequate housing to relocate there. It also provides price ranges for apartments in different sizes and locations within Monaco.
