Confidence: high (residency trigger, PIT rates, and SSC rates are explicitly published by official sources).

Method: LivingCost country-level USD averages retrieved 2026-02-27. Average baseline is the source's 'Total with rent' (one person). Poor baseline is computed as without-rent basket + cheap 1BR + utility bill (1 person) + internet; comfortable baseline is computed as without-rent basket + city-center 1BR + utility bill (1 person) + internet. Baselines: poor $1142.67, average $1171.29, comfortable $1273.12. monthly_coworking_usd is null because this source does not publish an auditable country-level coworking monthly pass metric. Source date context: LivingCost page content current as of retrieval date. Confidence: medium (aggregated/crowdsourced country averages, significant intra-country city variance).
