FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL WEEKLY RESIDENT

I receive inquiries about this topic almost every day, and these are the questions:

• What is a "weekly resident" for tax purposes

• Where am I liable to pay taxes

• What requirements must be met

• What expenses are tax-deductible

• How do you prove your status as a weekly resident

• Can the tax office deny weekly resident status

• When is it worth seeking tax advise

The determination of a “weekly stay” for tax purposes is assessed on a case-by-case basis. It is not just one’s place of residence or registration with the municipality that is decisive, but rather one’s actual living circumstances. Those who have their situation reviewed early on and carefully document the necessary evidence can ensure clarity and reduce the risk of future tax disputes.
