Tax residency
Easy to leaveWhat makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.
- physical presence in Saint Kitts and Nevis for 183 or more days in a calendar year
Tax residency for individuals is based on a simple 183+ day physical presence test; there is no worldwide income tax or domicile/citizenship-based tail, so ceasing to spend sufficient days in the country effectively ends tax residency.
