🇬🇧

United Kingdom

⏳ Advanced Logic Coming Soon

The UK uses the Statutory Residence Test (SRT), which includes automatic overseas tests, automatic UK tests, and sufficient ties tests. Thresholds depend on prior-year residence status and your number of UK ties. A simple single-threshold day-count calculator is not appropriate for UK SRT analysis.

  • Automatic overseas tests can confirm non-residence if you spend fewer than 16 days in the UK (or 46 days if not UK-resident in any of the 3 prior tax years).
  • Automatic UK tests can confirm residence if you spend 183+ days in the UK in a tax year, have your only home in the UK, or work full-time in the UK.
  • The sufficient ties test uses a combination of day counts and personal ties (family, accommodation, work, 90-day tie) and varies by prior residency status.
  • The UK tax year runs April 6 to April 5 — not a calendar year.
An advanced UK SRT calculator is planned. Until then, see our UK expat tax guide or consult a qualified UK tax advisor.

Philippines

⏳ Advanced Logic Coming Soon

For foreign nationals in the Philippines, a 180-day threshold affects whether a non-resident alien is treated as engaged in trade or business — but this is not the same as a universal residency threshold. Full Philippine residency classification depends on multiple legal factors including intent, domicile, and immigration status.

  • Non-resident aliens staying more than 180 days may be treated as non-resident aliens "engaged in trade or business" for income tax purposes.
  • This is a different concept from tax residency and requires professional analysis for proper classification.
  • Full Philippine residency depends on immigration status (e.g. SRRV, ACR), domicile, and other legal factors.
An advanced Philippines tax residency guide is planned. See our Philippines expat tax overview for more context.
🇶🇦

Qatar

⏳ Advanced Logic Coming Soon

Qatar's tax residency framework involves day-count thresholds, permanent home status, and nationality factors. A simple day-count estimator is not appropriate for Qatar residency analysis given the multi-factor nature of the rules.

  • Qatar generally requires more than 183 days of physical presence for residency, but additional conditions apply.
  • Having a permanent home available in Qatar or having a center of vital interests in Qatar can also trigger residency.
  • Qatari nationals are generally always treated as tax residents regardless of day count.
  • Qatar has no personal income tax for most individuals, but residency status can affect other obligations.
An advanced Qatar residency guide is planned. See our Qatar expat tax overview for more context.

Key thresholds and calculator status for each supported country.

🇮🇳
India FY · Apr–Mar

India

Primary: 182+ days in India

India uses an April–March financial year. Both departure and return days count as days in India. A secondary 60-day test applies in certain cases — residency can be established even with fewer than 182 days if a lookback condition is met.

✓ Calculator available
🇺🇸
Rolling 12-Month · FEIE PPT

USA — FEIE

330+ full days outside the U.S.

The FEIE Physical Presence Test requires 330 full midnight-to-midnight days outside the U.S. in any 12-month period. Departure and arrival days in the U.S. are not full foreign days. The Bona Fide Residence Test is a separate, subjective test not modeled here.

✓ Calculator available
🇸🇬
Calendar Year · Jan–Dec

Singapore

183+ days in Singapore

Singapore uses a standard 183-day threshold for the calendar year. Additional concessions for residence spanning 2 or 3 consecutive years exist but are not modeled in this simplified calculator. Entry and exit days count as Singapore presence days.

🇦🇪
Rolling 12-Month

UAE

183+ days (Route 1) / 90–182 days (Route 2)

The UAE offers two residency routes. Route 1 requires 183+ days of physical presence in any 12-month period. Route 2 allows residency with 90–182 days if accompanied by additional ties such as residence, employment, or business connections in the UAE.

Calendar Year · Jan–Dec

Thailand

More than 180 days in Thailand

Thailand requires strictly more than 180 days for tax residency — exactly 180 days does not qualify. Entry and exit days count as Thailand presence days. Thailand's 2024 remittance rules may affect taxable income scope for residents.

✓ Calculator available
🇨🇳
Calendar Year · Jan–Dec

China

183+ days in China (non-domicile route)

China's 183-day threshold applies to non-domiciled individuals and triggers residency for the calendar year. China's six-year rule — which can expose long-term non-domicile residents to worldwide income taxation — is not modeled in this version.

🇬🇧
UK Tax Year · Apr 6–Apr 5

United Kingdom

Multi-factor Statutory Residence Test

The UK SRT involves automatic overseas tests, automatic UK tests, and a sufficient ties test with variable day thresholds based on prior-year residence and UK ties. A single day-count threshold is not appropriate for UK analysis.

Calendar Year · Jan–Dec

Philippines

180-day rule (trade/business classification)

The Philippines 180-day rule classifies non-resident aliens as "engaged in trade or business" — not a universal residency threshold. Full residency classification requires analysis of immigration status, domicile, and intent.

Qatar

183+ days + additional conditions

Qatar's residency framework requires day-count analysis combined with permanent home status, center of vital interests, and nationality factors. Most individuals in Qatar pay no personal income tax, but residency status can have cross-border implications.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does this calculator determine my final tax residency?
No. This tool is an estimator based on simplified day-count rules. Final tax residency depends on additional legal, factual, and treaty-based tests that vary by country and individual circumstance. Always consult a qualified tax professional for a binding determination.
Does India count entry and exit days as days in India?
Yes. Under Indian tax law, both the day you leave India and the day you return are counted as days spent in India. This calculator applies that rule: only full days physically outside India (excluding travel days) reduce your India day count.
Is the U.S. FEIE rule based on 30 days or 35 days in the U.S.?
Neither exactly. The Physical Presence Test requires 330 full days outside the U.S. in any 12-month period, which nominally allows up to 35 days inside the U.S. However, partial travel days — the day you depart or arrive in the U.S. — are not counted as full foreign days, making the effective U.S. allowance smaller than 35 full days in practice. Careful day-counting is essential near the threshold.
What counts as a "full day" for the FEIE Physical Presence Test?
A full day for FEIE purposes means a midnight-to-midnight 24-hour period spent entirely in a foreign country. The day you depart the U.S. and the day you return to the U.S. are generally not counted as full foreign days — even if you spent the vast majority of those days abroad. This calculator treats departure and arrival days in the U.S. as U.S. days.
Why are some countries shown as rules-only?
Countries like the UK, Philippines, and Qatar use multi-factor residency tests that cannot be accurately modeled with a simple day-count calculator. The UK Statutory Residence Test, for example, depends on prior-year residence status and the number of UK ties, making a single threshold approach dangerously misleading. Advanced calculators for these countries are planned.
Will more countries be added?
Yes. We plan to expand the calculator to cover additional expat destinations including Germany, Canada, Australia, Mexico, and more, along with advanced multi-factor logic for UK, Qatar, and the Philippines. Sign up for notifications below to be alerted when new country calculators are released.
Does China's six-year rule affect my residency status?
China's six-year rule affects the scope of income subject to Chinese tax — specifically, non-domiciled individuals who have resided in China for six consecutive full years without a single absence of more than 30 days may become subject to worldwide income tax. This calculator only estimates the basic 183-day non-domicile day-count test and does not model the six-year rule. Professional advice is essential for long-term China residents.
Why isn't the UK shown as a simple 183-day calculator?
The UK Statutory Residence Test (SRT) is one of the most complex residency frameworks in the world. Whether you are UK resident depends on automatic overseas tests, automatic UK tests, and sufficient ties tests — each with different day thresholds based on your prior-year residence history and the number of UK ties you hold (family, accommodation, substantive work, 90-day tie). A single 183-day threshold would be dangerously misleading for UK residency analysis.
