Income Tax Brackets

Annual Income (EUR)Tax RateMarginal Calculation
€0–€24,0000%No tax on first €24k
€24,001–€40,0005%5% on income between €24k and €40k
€40,001+10%10% on income above €40k

Andorra's progressive bands make it attractive for moderate earners (0% on first €24k is equivalent to €2,000/month tax-free), while high earners pay a simple 10% flat marginal rate. Personal deductions and pension contributions reduce taxable income. Self-employed professionals benefit from deduction of business expenses before applying brackets.

Corporate Tax

Standard rate & incentives
OECD 2026

Corporate Tax

Andorra taxes corporate profits at a flat 10% rate. The key advantage is deferral — companies can retain earnings without immediate dividend withholding, allowing compounding growth. When profits are distributed as dividends, shareholders in Andorra pay personal income tax on the dividends at the 10% rate (or lower if below €40k bracket). This structure is efficient for reinvestment-focused businesses.

VAT & Consumption Taxes

Frequently Asked Questions

Andorra tax rates
How much tax do expats pay in Andorra?
Expat residents in Andorra pay 0% tax on income up to €24,000, then 5% on income between €24k–€40k, and 10% above €40k. Passive income (dividends, interest, rental) is taxed under the same brackets. For someone earning €50,000/year, total tax is approximately €1,000 (10% on €10k above €40k). Add mandatory social security (~6.5%) = roughly 10.5% total effective rate.
Does Andorra tax foreign income?
Yes, Andorra operates worldwide taxation for residents. Foreign-source income (salaries, rental income, dividends, interest) is added to taxable income and subject to the same bracket system. However, the 0% rate on income up to €24,000 makes Andorra attractive for remote workers and freelancers earning modest amounts.
What is the cost of living in Andorra?
Andorra is affordable compared to France and Spain — Andorra la Vella (capital) costs 30–40% less than Swiss or wealthy French Alpine towns. Mountain ski resort pricing applies near Soldeu and Ordino. Duty-free retail and low VAT (4.5%) keep consumer prices competitive.
Can I get a residency permit for passive income in Andorra?
Yes. Passive residency requires proof of €24,000+ annual passive income from outside Andorra (pensions, rental, dividends, interest) with no requirement to work in Andorra. Must spend minimum 90 days/year in Andorra. Permit is typically valid 2 years, renewable. EU/EEA citizens have easier access than third-country nationals.
How does Andorra compare to Monaco or Switzerland for taxes?
Monaco has 0% income tax but costs 3× more to live there and requires €500k deposit. Switzerland has cantons with 20–30% income tax but higher salaries offset this. Andorra's 10% flat rate is a middle ground — lower than Swiss cantons, but not as extreme as Monaco. Andorra is also more accessible for middle-income earners and remote workers.
