Tax residency

Moderate

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

Domicile / deemed-domicile

Tax residency can be broken by both giving up domicile/household ties and reducing days in Taiwan below 183, but nationals with household registration and strong ties may still be treated as residents until they clearly cease to have domicile and habitual residence.
