Tools · Tax-residence day tracker
How close are you to becoming tax resident?
Log where you have been. Each country counts your days its own way, against its own line and its own tax year, and we show you how much room you have left before it can tax you as a resident.
The tracker runs in your browser and needs JavaScript switched on. The rules it uses are listed below.
Where you have been
One line per stay, including time at home. Leave the second date empty for where you are now. Each country counts arrival and departure days its own way, so enter the real dates and leave the counting to us.

The rules we count by
- Argentina
- Argentina counts months, not days. A foreigner becomes resident after 12 months on temporary permits, from the 13th month, or straight away on getting permanent residence. Source
- Colombia
- More than 183 calendar days, counting the days you arrive and leave, in any 365 consecutive days. Article 10 of the tax statute. Source
- Georgia
- 183 days or more in any continuous 12-month period ending in the tax year. Source
- Indonesia
- More than 183 days in any 12-month period. Living there, or being there during the year intending to stay, makes you resident regardless. Source
- Mexico
- Mexico has no day count. You are resident if your home is in Mexico, or, if you have homes in two countries, if your centre of vital interests is there. A one-year lease can be enough. To stop being resident you must file a notice 15 days before you go. Source
- Portugal
- More than 183 days, in one go or not, in any 12-month period that starts or ends in the year. A day counts if it includes a night in Portugal. Keeping a home there as your habitual residence makes you resident regardless. Source
- South Africa
- The physical presence test: more than 91 days this tax year, more than 91 in each of the five before, and more than 915 across those five. The tax year runs 1 March to the end of February, and any part of a day counts. Having your real home there makes you resident regardless. Source
- Spain
- More than 183 days in a calendar year. Short trips away still count as days in Spain unless you can prove you are resident somewhere else. Having your main economic interests in Spain makes you resident regardless. Source
- Thailand
- 180 days or more in a calendar year, added up across separate stays. Source
- United Arab Emirates
- 183 days or more in any 12 consecutive months, or 90 days or more if you hold a UAE residence permit and have a home or a job there. Any part of a day counts. Source
- United Kingdom
- The Statutory Residence Test. Under 16 days if you were UK resident in any of the last three tax years, or under 46 if you were not, and you are automatically non-resident. 183 or more and you are automatically resident. In between, your UK ties decide. A day counts if you are in the UK at midnight. The tax year runs 6 April to 5 April. Source
- United States
- The substantial presence test, for anyone who is not a citizen: at least 31 days this year, and at least 183 counting all of this year's days, a third of last year's and a sixth of the year before. Any part of a day counts. US citizens are taxed on worldwide income wherever they live. Source
