Tax residency
Easy to leaveWhat makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.
- 183+ days in Libya in a tax year
The available official guidance does not show a citizenship or domicile tail for individuals; tax residence appears to turn on physical presence, so leaving and no longer meeting the day-count test should generally end residency. I could not verify a more detailed individual-residency rule from the official tax authority materials in the provided results.
