Lagos, Nigeria
The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 replaced the old relief structure with a 0% band on the first ₦800,000 and rates rising to 25%, while pension contributions of 8% come off before PAYE. Rents in the prime districts are often quoted in dollars and have repriced with the naira, so housing is the largest swing factor in any offer.
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.
