What are the Benefits for Retired Pensioners in Andorra?

• Low crime rate (almost non-existent in Andorra)
• Excellent healthcare facilities and hospital
• Very affordable private insurance plans
• 5%-10% personal income tax on qualified income/investment tax returns
• No inheritance tax/gift tax
• No wealth tax
• Possibility to receive private or public pension with tax advantages (subject to the provisions of the double taxation agreement)
• Qualified capital gains of publicly traded companies are tax exempt

Main tax advantages are built on the pillars of tax planning and economy of choice. Also, the succession of wealth must be planned seriously, with a good advisory and consulting service. The type of assets will determine the tax savings, as well as the participation in the planning scheme of the heirs and legatees. In addition to the type of assets and location, the tax residence is, in retirement cases, a determining factor.

The Top Healthcare System in Andorra

For a smooth and peaceful retirement, one of the essential points is healthcare. As we reach old age, health problems start to become more frequent and severe and it is very important to take proper care of them to maintain a happy and active lifestyle. Having the guarantee of being able to access quality, safe, and not overcrowded health care is a relief for a retiree.

Andorra offers a tremendously competent and solid healthcare and sanitary system, declared as one of the best in the world according to many important scientific rankings and journals.

Physical safety and tranquility

Zero crime has always been a very remarkable and envied feature of Andorra. With almost no criminal activity and delinquency, the few cases of crime are usually easy news. Andorra’s location, embedded in the middle of the Pyrenees, also contributes. What can bring more tranquility than living in a mountainous area where 90% of the territory is forest?

Peacefulness and neutrality

In addition to the absence of crime, Andorra’s rich history of political neutrality is also a very important factor for retirees when choosing this country for their retirement. Principality has been politically neutral for more than seven centuries, despite the numerous world, European and individual conflicts in neighboring countries, especially France and Spain.
