Tax residency
ModerateWhat makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.
- physically present in Guam for 183 days during the tax year
- no tax home outside Guam during the tax year
- no closer connection to the U.S. or a foreign country during the tax year
Guam’s official resident test is day-count plus tax-home and closer-connection rules, so leaving can be straightforward if you stop meeting those tests. It is not citizenship-based or domicile-based for individuals under the cited residency guidance, but the closer-connection and tax-home facts can make the exit non-automatic.
