Non-resident treatment
Identical: 0%, with no withholding on outbound payments.
Notes
- Foreign payers may still withhold their own tax at source — Monaco's small treaty network (about a dozen agreements) rarely helps reclaim it.
- The old withholding on Monégasque interest paid to European Union residents ended in 2017, replaced by automatic exchange of account information.
- Monégasque banks report account data internationally under the common reporting framework — privacy from tax authorities is not part of the offer.
