Tax residency by country
Am I a tax resident of Belgium? The day-count rule
This page explains, in plain terms, the day-count rule that typically makes you a tax resident of Belgium — and how to keep track of it without doing the maths by hand.
The day threshold
Belgium looks beyond a simple day count: your home, family, and centre of economic interests matter, though roughly 183 days of presence is a common reference point.
Belgium is in the Schengen area, so if you're a non-EU visitor your stays there also count toward the Schengen 90/180 limit — a separate rule from tax residency.
