Tax and residence in the

Peru

Peru Basics

Peru is an ancient culture which has evolved into a modern nation where the people have their own unique ways. The food is outstanding. Summer from Dec-Apr makes it a good 50-50 location to combine with the northern hemisphere for year round summer. For those with a global income it's a very cheap land to live. The ordinary people are poor after generations of bad governance but like many poverty stricken nations, the people are also kind, freindly and very pleasant to be with.

Like every land in South America, parts of Lima and other cities are violent ghettos and you need to know where they are so you never go there. This is true of much of N America and increasingly it's true in the UK and Europe too so not really a reason to reject this wonderful land.
