Tax residency

Easy to leave

What makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.

Tax residence is status‑based (registration and specific special‑regime permits) rather than citizenship‑ or domicile‑based, so ceasing residence or letting a non‑domiciled or special permit lapse generally ends San Marino tax residence once you leave and de‑register, with no multi‑year tail rules. There is no indication in official or professional guidance of citizenship‑based taxation, exit tax, or long look‑back tests that would keep former residents taxable after departure.
