Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR

Salaries tax is progressive but capped at a 17% standard rate, there is no VAT, and MPF contributions are modest. The cost is housing: rents are among the highest in the set and flats are small, so disposable income depends heavily on whether accommodation is provided.

Auckland, New Zealand

Progressive income tax includes an ACC levy, and there is no social security contribution beyond that. Housing is the binding constraint: rents and house prices have outrun wages for two decades, and transport costs are high for a city of its size.
