The headline rate is one number, and it is a terrible way to pick a jurisdiction. Hungary's 9% is real, not a trick, but the headline is only the cover charge. The bill is underneath. - Local business taxes, surcharges, and dividend withholding all sit under the headline. - The effective rate after deductions is what you actually pay. Model that, not the tweet. - Banking timelines matter: 9% where accounts take six months can easily lose to 15% where you are live in two weeks. - Add substance costs: office, filings, staff. The package price is marketing; the whole stack is the price. - Use low-rate lists as a shortlist, then compare the boring stuff: total cost, reporting, treaties. Once the shortlist is real, IncorpTrack registers UK and Singapore companies for $49 plus the government fee, with Stripe and banking sorted.
