Tax residency guides
Understand how countries determine tax residency — and why day-count exposure is usually the earliest warning signal.
Quick answer
Tax residency determines which country can treat you as a resident for tax — often affecting whether you’re taxed on worldwide income. Most systems combine days spent with factors like home, work, and personal/economic ties.
Not tax advice. Residency rules are fact-specific and vary by country.
