Tax residency
Easy to leaveWhat makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.
- having a permanent place of residence in Yemen during the tax year
- physical presence in Yemen for no less than 183 days in the tax year
- being a Yemeni national who works abroad and derives income from Yemen
Tax residency is based on having a permanent residence in Yemen, spending 183+ days there, or being a Yemeni national working abroad who still earns Yemeni‑source income; ceasing to meet these conditions (e.g. leaving and giving up a Yemeni residence and Yemeni‑source income) generally ends tax residency without multi‑year tail rules.
