Angola taxes individuals on a progressive scale up to 25%, while corporate profits and most investment income face flat 25% and 10% rates respectively, with a 14% VAT on top. There is no digital nomad or dedicated entrepreneur visa, tax residency triggers after just 90 days of presence, and the business environment is difficult by global standards. The country is a Portuguese-speaking market with low English proficiency, low costs of living, and underdeveloped infrastructure, making it a niche rather than mainstream base for solopreneurs.
