Would Suriname actually work for your taxes?

It runs regimes like Investment Act 2001 Tax Holiday and Investment Incentives (Investeringswet 2001), and whether they fit depends on your income, assets and citizenship, not on averages.

How the comfort score works (v1)

Each month scores 0 to 10 from four weighted components: temperature (35%), sunshine (25%), humidity (20%) and rain (20%), with an extra penalty when heat and humidity combine. Personal tolerances reshape the score: your heat limit compares to how afternoons feel (heat index), your cold limit to typical nights. Data: NASA POWER climatology 2001-2020 with elevation corrections, daylight computed from latitude.

It runs regimes like Investment Act 2001 Tax Holiday and Investment Incentives (Investeringswet 2001), and whether they fit depends on your income, assets and citizenship, not on averages.

How the comfort score works (v1)

Each month scores 0 to 10 from four weighted components: temperature (35%), sunshine (25%), humidity (20%) and rain (20%), with an extra penalty when heat and humidity combine. Personal tolerances reshape the score: your heat limit compares to how afternoons feel (heat index), your cold limit to typical nights.
