Freelancer Social Security Contributions Compared (2026)
What self-employed workers actually pay into social security in Portugal, Spain, Estonia, Georgia, the UAE and Singapore in 2026 — with the official rates, the monthly quota table, the ceilings, and the point at which the cheaper system stops being cheaper.

Georgia vs Estonia for Freelancers: 1% Turnover or 0% Retained (2026)
The two jurisdictions freelancers are pushed toward most often work in opposite directions. Which is cheaper does not depend on how much you earn — it depends on whether you spend the money or leave it in the business.
-
Portugal vs Dubai for Freelancers (2026)
Dubai charges no income tax and Portugal charges plenty, so the comparison looks settled before it starts. For the first two years it very nearly is not — and then it becomes the most one-sided comparison on this site.

Double Taxation Treaties: The Basics for Freelancers (2026)
A treaty does not stop two countries taxing the same income. It decides which one gets to, and how the other gives way — and the method it uses can change your total bill by the full difference between the two tax rates.
-
Permanent Establishment: Why Your Employer Cares Where You Work (2026)
When a company refuses to let you work from another country, the reason is usually not immigration. It is that your presence there might give the company a taxable presence — and the OECD updated its guidance on exactly this in 2025.

Social Security When You Work Across Borders (2026)

How we keep numbers honest
Tax rates, contribution thresholds and visa requirements change constantly. Every dataset on this site cites the official government or institutional source it came from and the date we last verified it — and our build pipeline refuses to publish data without both.
