Tax Residency

What is Tax Residency?

Tax residency refers to the legal status of an individual being recognised as a tax resident in a particular country. This status determines where a person is liable to pay tax and under what conditions. Establishing tax residency in a jurisdiction with favourable tax laws can offer significant benefits, including reduced taxation on foreign income, exemptions on capital gains, and access to double tax treaty networks.

Each country sets its own criteria for tax residency, which may include:

• Minimum physical presence or days spent in the country
• Centre of vital interests (e.g. family, property, business)
• Formal registration or declaration of residence
• Economic ties or habitual abode

Our advisors assess each client’s profile to determine the most suitable jurisdiction and ensure full compliance with local and international tax regulations.

Why Clients Pursue Tax Residency

Clients seek tax residency for a variety of strategic reasons:

• Tax Optimisation: Structuring income and assets to minimise global tax exposure.
• Mobility & Lifestyle: Aligning tax status with international relocation or lifestyle migration.
• Access to Tax Regimes: Benefiting from preferential regimes such as remittance-based systems, flat tax programmes, or non-domiciled status.
• Double Tax Treaty Protection: Avoiding double taxation through treaty planning.
• Succession & Wealth Planning: Aligning tax residency with estate and legacy strategies.

We advise on a wide range of internationally recognised tax regimes and residency programmes, tailoring each solution to the client’s unique footprint and objectives.
