@crossborderfl.bsky.socialDoes a day count if you left at 6am?
Countries differ on whether days count at arrival/departure or midnight. Reconstructing a year from memory rarely survives a question. #TaxResidency #183DayRule #TaxTreaty #eResidency #Expat
@crossborderfl.bsky.socialA tax treaty is not a way to pay no tax.
It allocates taxing rights between two countries and breaks the tie when both claim you. It can limit tax. It can't create a tax that domestic law doesn't impose. #TaxResidency #Domicile #eResidency #Expat #TaxTreaty
@crossborderfl.bsky.socialDouble taxation isn't a mistake. It's the default.
One country taxes you because you live there. Another taxes the income because it arose there. Both are behaving correctly. Treaties exist to sort out the overlap. #TaxResidency #Domicile #Expat #TaxTreaty
@crossborderfl.bsky.socialTax residency isn't something you file for.
It's a status you acquire by meeting a country's rules — or stop meeting them. You don't choose it, register for it, or opt out of it; it's a consequence of facts. #TaxResidency #Domicile #TaxTreaty
