Over the years, digital nomads have been tagged “tax dodgers.” However, this is untrue. In most instances, your tax as a digital nomad will depend on the following factors. How Much You Earn: The amount you earn as a digital nomad will determine how much you’ll pay in taxes. Basically, your amount in taxes will increase as the amount you earn increases. How Often You Travel: Most countries invoke the “183 day rule” if you spend more than 183 days in a single tax year in their country. The 183-day rule essentially regulates tax payments for immigrants in a country. So, once you stay in that country beyond 183 days, you become a tax resident there. Where You Are From: If you are a US or Eritrean citizen, you automatically become a tax resident. Primary Residence: Some countries, e.g., Portugal, will claim you as a tax resident if your primary residence is registered there. However, countries like the UK will implement a “Statutory Residence Test” to see how best you know the country and determine if you’ll become a tax resident based on your results.
