- Thread starter deamatiz
- Start date
can you please kindly let me know how i can do it? this is residency not tax residency, correct? But anyway still interested if you can give me some more info. many thanks
Then you have to be 183 days somewhere! As we all (most) do here! Your country can ALWAYS ask you proofs of staying. Own apartment, transport, expenses with your card, receipts from everything. This is coming globally and happened thanks to a few people that think that been digital nomads are paying tax nowhere. It's not like that! You HAVE to be tax resident somewhere and if you don't want to be found out after 10, 15, 20 years and they will take you everything, you have to plan it properly. Also consider the P/E, place of effective management etc. Even if you are 10 days in a country and you work online, you work on this specific country -> you have to pay tax on this specific country as the work is done there! Because you are physically there. So, check the rules for every country and how it works.
Get your things, move to a 0% region that your country accepts and do it legally!
Most of the countries you mentioned are anyway not accepted by many countries in EU as they are on the list of non-cooperative countries - there are plenty of lists you have to research your self :
https://taxation-customs.ec.europa....nd,implemented within the available timeframe.
https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/eu-list-of-non-cooperative-jurisdictions/
Etc - do some research.
How do you get to that conclusion?
Because even the tax hell Germany does not require you to prove that you moved your tax residency elsewhere, all you have to do to leave Germany's tax system is to announce that you leave, and cut ties (move out of Germany and terminate your rental contract in Germany).
I was part of this kind of discussion here on the forum a few months ago.
I was also on the side of “you have to be a tax resident somewhere”. The truth probably is, it depends on the country of your citizenship and the country of your previous tax residency. Some countries like in the case of the op specifically demand it, others do not.
Not all the countries YET, but one by one adding.. Australia added it, and more coming.. Also many (not for the current topic) are proposing citizenship based taxation (France).
No because Belarus is not in the EU. But if it was, it has first to be accepted from the country... And EU too.. I think is confusing and more confusing is coming since many countries (including PY) are issuing TRCs without physicall precence of 180 days/yr. People don't understand that if you are tax resident somewhere is not because you want, is because THIS COUNTRY is dragging you to be taxed there. So, how one country can give TRC (0% of course) but you can be living somwhere else and maybe staying more than 180 days there? If you read the Cyprus non dom rules, they strictly say that you need the x days in cyprus but YOU CANNOT Stay in any other country more than 180 days. That invalidates the non-dom.
Summarizing, the digital-nomad-tax-resident-of-nowhere is about to die very very soon... the 7, EU etc, are pushing towards it, you should be tax resident somwhere that you are physically there; that's why you listen serious specialists on this saying "your center of interests". HK same; you can't get TRC if you dont have rental / house, subscriptions / gym etc,. Same in Gibraltar. And the rest of the countries are pushing them to be serious and ensure the resident is really there.
That's why, IMHO, things will change - and are changing - very fast.
*bonus: many countries can look back a few years and change the status so, you might make your income traveling around until the day they will say that you were just traveling around, and now you're back home...
Just find a country you want to live the rest of your life - or next many years and move properly.
No, Australia hasn't added a requirement that one needs to be tax resident in some country outside Australia to get out of their tax net.
Currently Australia has a few tests including the domicile test, which says that one has to have a permanent abode in some country to no longer be an Australian tax resident. It doesn't specify that one has to be a tax resident in the country of permanent abode, but normally (but not always) having a permenant abode somewhere means one becomes tax resident.
For people who have lived long term in Australia and want to leave, the proposed new Australian rules say that:
-if one gets a job that lasts at least 2 years outside Australia, one has accommodation in the place of employment, and one doesnt spend more than 45 days in Australia per year, then one is out of the tax net directly when leaving Australia.
-If one has spent less than 45 days in Australia per year for the two previous years, then one is out of the tax net the third year, assuming one spends less than 45 days that third year too.
In other words Australia never had an explicit requirement to be a tax resident abroad, and with the new rules tax residency abroad is even less of a factor. Note that if you are an entrepreneur and move out from Australia to say the UAE, you will still be an Australian tax resident for 2 years regardless of if you are a tax resident or not in the UAE. And then from the third year you will not be an Australian tax resident, again regardless of if you are a tax resident in the UAE.
This flowchart explains the new rules quite well: https://www.exfin.com/files/general_materials/Proposed New Australian Tax Residency Rules Flowchart.pdf
Im actually not aware of any country that explicitly requires tax residency abroad to get out of the tax net. Possibly Spain is the closest, where i understand that in practice it is likely one has to show tax residency abroad.
But there are many cases where even if you are a tax resident abroad, you are still counted as a tax resident of the country you left. Like all the full on or quasi taxation by citizenship countries, or countries with anti tax haven rules. The by far most common case though is that you can move out, and the country you left doesnt care if you are a tax resident abroad or not.
Some users here also mentioned Italy, Slovakia and some France.
But I think in most cases, nobody cares. But if you are unlucky and get shot on the street just when you visited your mom, you may get unwanted attention and questions. In such a case, it is good to have proof. Maybe the best is go get a job somewhere and pay some tax while being there some time. And have some homeless using your card to pay for some food the other days.
Italy Im familiar with, and in order to register as an Italian abroad (AIRE registry) you have to go to the Italian embassy in the country you moved to, and have some sort of proof of residence - not proof of tax residence though. And it's a one off thing, you dont have to keep proving your residency.
No idea about Slovakia, and any time I want to look up anything about France - despite me speaking the language - it just gives me headaches, always super complicated. Im asking French friends about what it takes to leave the french tax net and never get clear answers, but they do seem to want to get tax residency certificates, but ive never heard France actually asking for one.
Yeah, it's like why not have some proof. I was actually in a situation where it was useful recently. Bought a macbook in Sweden and was claiming back VAT at the airport - would really annoy me to give money to a tax hell country. So I told them I live in this godforsaken country in West Africa and Im flying back there, look here is my flight ticket. And the airport-VAT stuff said, yeah that's not enough, you have to show that you are a resident of this country too, with a tone that they were thinking no way this guy is resident in african shithole country. So I whip up my wallet, bring out a little plastic card where it says Carte Resident, Republique de [Shithole Country] and get my money.
Took 3 years to get the damn card btw because some bureaucrat responsible for printing them pocketed the money, but well, got it at the end. Best part is that on the back it says that my occupation is "Unemployed".
