Tax Residency for Nomads

If you move between countries, you see your days in each one for every calendar year. The countries where you reached 180 days stand out, so you see early where a country might consider you a tax resident.

Every Day of a Trip Counts

Every date of a trip counts for its country, including the day you arrive and the day you leave. A travel day between two countries counts for both, and a date counts only once per country, even when two trips overlap. Days count up to today, and a planned trip doesn't count until it happens.

Add Your Time at Home

Only the trips you add count. To see your whole year, add the time you spend at home as trips too. If you live in Copenhagen and spent a week in Seville in March, that makes a trip to Copenhagen until you left, the trip to Seville, and another trip to Copenhagen from the day you got back.

Only You See Your Tax Days

The overview sits at the end of your profile, with your top three countries for each year. Nobody else sees it, even when your profile is public. It appears once a past year has a country with 180 days, or this year has a country with 90 days or 180 days of travel in total.

These numbers aren't tax advice, and each country sets its own rules, so check your situation with a tax professional. Start counting your days.
