I've been informed by my tax consultant that you are tax-resident in the country where you spent the majority of time in a year. If you split your time between three or more countries this still applies.
- peteretep 11y agoThat's far too simplistic, sadly. It's perfectly possible to be tax resident in multiple countries - I am tax resident in two, for example, neither of which is the US. Here's how you try and work out if you're tax resident in the UK: https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/residence https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/residence There are automatic resident and non-resident qualifiers, but everything else involves a whole range of factors.
- ruirr 11y agoIt depends in the country really. In Portugal and Spain it is really that simple, you do not live more than 180 days in a year in the country, you are not tax resident.
