Taxes

As a digital nomad in Iceland, you don’t need to pay taxes in Iceland. However, you will still have to pay taxes in the country where you are registered as an employee or business owner. For example, if you are a US citizen working for an American company, then you still have to pay taxes in the US, despite living in Iceland as a digital nomad. Please consult with a tax professional to understand your tax obligations better. It’s important to note that tax laws can vary greatly by country and individual circumstances.
