India

India taxes residents who are ordinarily resident on worldwide income, with personal rates running from 5% up to a headline 30% (surcharge and a 4% cess push the effective top rate higher), while a simplified default regime offers wider zero and low brackets. There is no wealth tax, inheritance tax, or individual exit tax, and listed equity long-term gains are taxed at a flat 12.5% above a small annual exemption. India has no dedicated digital nomad or entrepreneur visa, so foreign solopreneurs typically rely on business or tourist e-visas and cannot bill Indian clients in rupees.
