What do I need to know about living in Andorra?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Andorra, they said:

"Before retiring in Andorra, expats should be aware of the country's tax system. Andorra has a flat tax rate of 10% on all income, regardless of the source. Expats should also be aware of the cost of living in Andorra, which is higher than in many other countries. Additionally, expats should research the healthcare system in Andorra, as it is not part of the European Union and does not have a reciprocal healthcare agreement with other countries. Finally, expats should be aware of the language barrier, as Catalan is the official language of Andorra," wrote a member in Andorra.
