Taxes can be much less, or equivalent, all depends on personal situation. The taxes are structured very differently, most government revenue is from the VAT & consumption taxes.
Income tax on local earned income is 0-15%, on local non-earned income 0-25%, and on all foreign-source income is nil.
Capital gains tax is nil.
Social security is up to 22% of wages paid by employer, and up to 9% paid by employee.
VAT tax is 13% on importation and 13% at point-of-sale. Consumption taxes are 0-60% at importation and/or point-of-sale.
Property transfer tax is 3.01%. Property tax is nominal.
