Tax residency

Easy to leave

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

Official guidance indicates residency turns on physical presence, with the core trigger being the 183-day rule. That makes ending residency comparatively straightforward: leaving Somalia and staying below the day-count threshold should generally stop residency, absent another independent basis.
