Every alternative to the 10/10/10 Method™ is strong on one axis and quiet on the others. That is not a criticism — it is the nature of a single-move solution. The question to ask of any option is not "is the tax low?" but "does it fix all three numbers, and who owns the whole structure?"
Dubai: great on personal tax, exposed elsewhere
Dubai's draw is 0% personal income tax. But the UAE introduced a 9% federal corporate tax in June 2023, living and office costs are high, and it sits outside the EU — which matters for banking, clients and future mobility. It solves pillar one brilliantly and leaves the corporate and savings pillars largely to you. See our fuller Bulgaria vs Dubai breakdown.
Portugal after NHR: a closing door
Portugal's NHR regime made it a favourite for years, but the classic NHR scheme closed to new applicants from 2024, and the replacement is narrower. Ordinary Portuguese rates are high. For many founders the window that made Portugal compelling has largely shut. Detail in Bulgaria vs Portugal after NHR.
Georgia-only: the yield without the structure
Georgia is the home of the third ten — GEL term deposits have paid double-digit gross interest. But banking there in isolation does nothing for your personal or corporate tax. A Georgia-only setup gives you the savings pillar and leaves the two tax pillars unsolved. The Method uses Georgian high-yield banking as the third pillar, bolted onto an EU base rather than standing alone.
The Method, side by side
Put plainly: Dubai fixes personal tax, Portugal's edge has faded, and Georgia-only fixes yield. None fixes all three, and none is delivered as a single owned structure. The 10/10/10 Method™ keeps personal and corporate tax at 10% inside the EU and puts reserves to work at 10%+ — one plan, one team, end-to-end. The real-numbers breakdown shows what that difference is worth annually.
