The 183-day rule, by jurisdiction

Most countries use a 183-day rule for tax residency, but the specifics vary. Here's a quick reference:

  • 183 days, calendar year: most countries — Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Mexico, Singapore, Japan, Portugal (12-month rolling).
  • 184 days + abode: New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania.
  • UK SRT (Statutory Residence Test): a tied day-count test on the UK tax year (6 April – 5 April).
  • Australia: 183 days on the Australian income year (1 July – 30 June).
  • Canada: 183 days deemed-resident rule alongside the residential-ties test.
  • UAE: 90 days with residency visa + abode, or 183 days general.

For Schengen 90/180 specifically, use the dedicated Schengen calculator. For the IRS Substantial Presence Test, use the SPT calculator.

How a "day" is counted

Most jurisdictions count any presence on a calendar day as a full day. Some require presence at midnight (UK SRT). Some have transit-day exclusions. Read the full guide: The 183-day rule, explained.
