Ever notice the tax arbitrage some countries create? Take Norway's annual wealth tax—it's aggressive enough to push high-net-worth residents to explore opportunities elsewhere. Yet here's the kicker: foreign investors who acquire and hold assets within the country don't face the same levy. So you've got a system that punishes locals for building wealth domestically, while simultaneously opening doors for outsiders to accumulate assets under different rules. The asymmetry is striking. It raises interesting questions about capital flows and where wealth actually ends up when policies create such misaligned incentives. Worth thinking about if you're considering asset diversification across borders.
