What actually complicates a tax exit.
The day count is the easy part. These six situations are what decide whether a departure holds up when someone examines it years later. Each one says what triggers it, what a tax authority looks at, and the date after which it can no longer be fixed.
- You hold shares and you are leaving
“I own shares in a company and I am about to leave” - You left, but your money did not
“I left, but my income still comes from my old country” - You are moving. Your family is not.
“I am moving but my partner or children are staying” - You kept the flat
“I kept my flat back home” - You moved. Your company did not.
“I still run my European company from abroad” - Your crypto history has to survive the move
“My crypto history is a mess and I am about to move”
