Your starting point
Create a clear record of dates, income and countries involved. Use official tax guidance and qualified advice to establish what applies to you.
Tax residence is a legal assessment based on your facts and the applicable rules, not simply a choice in a planner. Use the steps below to organise a decision, not to infer an official approval, a guaranteed price or a universal deadline.
Work through the decision
Build a chronology
Record travel, homes available, work and family circumstances across the relevant countries.
Read current rules
Consult the Tax Authority and any applicable treaty with qualified support.
Separate administrative steps
Changing an address and determining tax residence should be assessed together without assuming they are identical.
Adapt this to your circumstances
Keep citizenship, current residence, household needs and the location of the home separate in your notes. Ask the responsible authority, institution or qualified professional to confirm any requirement that affects your situation. A checklist used by another household may not apply to yours.
Sources and checks
Tax Authority — buying a home: IMT and stamp duty — an official starting point for this topic. The relevant page, its scope and effective date must be checked before a consequential decision.
No market prices, eligibility thresholds or legal deadlines have been invented for this guide. Dates in personal planning tools are suggestions or values you supply.
