Residential status reform refines residency tests and deemed resident rules, strengthening clarity for high income individuals and companies.
The Bill restructures residential status rules to clarify the day count residency framework, refine temporal definitions and exceptions, and expand deemed residency and not ordinarily resident criteria. It adds targeted provisions for high income individuals with a distinct presence test and develops company residency guidance by elaborating the place of effective management and management control factors, aiming to align with international standards and reduce disputes.
