How the days are counted

183 days in the calendar year, counting every day begun and the days of arrival and departure. Days of study, of medical treatment and of daily cross-border commuting do not count. Being registered with permanent residence makes you resident with not a single day counted, so the count does not decide on its own.

If you cross it, you are resident for the whole tax period.
