Sounds a lot like Spain, rules and paperwork. Taxes are lower but so crappy that even with an accountant you often pay the weirdest things and cannot declare many of the legitimate expenses you might have so in the end I pay as much as I did in NL.

The Estonia e-residency is very good for ‘nomads’ ; if you travel a lot (say you do not reside in one country 6 months + 1 days and (but this is debatable somehow) are not in a country more than 60 days continues, you can have a company in Estonia and declare tax for that company there. Which is to say, no tax until you take money out. If you don’t travel like that it is far more complex.

Spain is not nearly as complicated for a freelance. The problem in Spain is that the administration is a disaster in the "customer care" level. Also, every time a new technology appears they have to open a process for companies to bid (basically because their own IT dept is totally overloaded and I highly doubt they are keeping up with technologies) and do whatever is needed, but it's at least one year cycle.

They try to make everything anti-cheat, but in the end cheaters cheat anyway, and in the process they make everything slow and painful.
