Tax residency in Panama
An individual is treated as a Panamanian tax resident if they are present in Panama for more than 183 days, consecutive or not, during the fiscal (calendar) year, or for more than 183 days, consecutive or not, in the immediately preceding fiscal year, or if they have established their domicile or permanent residence in Panama; persons not meeting any of these conditions are nonresidents. Immigration status alone does not determine residency, and where dual residence arises under domestic rules, any applicable tax treaty tie‑breaker criteria (permanent home, center of vital interests, habitual abode, nationality, and mutual agreement) may be applied.
This summary is general information, not tax or legal advice. Rules change and individual circumstances vary — confirm with a qualified adviser before making decisions.
