Tax residency
Easy to leaveWhat makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.
- 183+ days in a calendar year
- maintaining a residence in Syria
The official rule is a simple presence/residence test: tax residency arises from maintaining a residence in Syria or staying 183+ days in the year. There is no official indication here of citizenship, domicile, or tail rules that would keep someone resident after departure, so leaving should be straightforward if the person no longer meets those triggers.
