Tax residency

Easy to leave

What makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.

Tax residency for individuals is based on a straightforward 183‑day physical‑presence test in a calendar year; once you are no longer present in Guyana for 183+ days, you stop being a resident and are only taxed on Guyana‑source income.
