Why is there no day count to track in Bermuda?

A "183-day rule" exists to decide when a country can tax your worldwide income. Bermuda has no personal income tax at all, so there's nothing for a day count to switch on. That's why this page shows no threshold and Yuravia raises no residency alert for Bermuda.

The catch is the country you're leaving. Most worldwide-tax countries keep taxing you until you genuinely break residency there — and many use their own day count to decide. Time in Bermuda is only tax-free if you also stay under the threshold that still applies back home.

Bermuda at a glance

Tax year: Bermuda fiscal year runs 1 April – 31 March, but no personal income tax is levied on individuals.
How days are counted: No day-count test for income-tax purposes — Bermuda has no personal income tax, so there is no 183-day or substantial-presence trigger. "Residence" is an immigration concept (work permits / residential certificates), not a tax test.
What residency means: Individuals owe no personal income tax on salary, self-employment, investment income, capital gains, dividends, interest or worldwide income. Instead there is Payroll Tax (levied on the employer; an employee may bear up to a 6% withholding), Land Tax, Customs Duty and weekly Social Insurance — none of which is a personal income tax.
Notable regime: No personal income tax. Bermuda introduced a 15% Corporate Income Tax from 1 January 2025 (OECD Pillar Two, MNE groups with €750M+ revenue) — corporate only, with no effect on individuals.

Frequently asked questions

Do you pay income tax in Bermuda?

No — Bermuda levies no personal income tax, so there is no income-tax residency threshold to track. Other taxes or fees may still apply, and immigration residency rules are separate.

Does a 183-day rule apply in Bermuda?

Day-counting drives tax residency where residents are taxed on worldwide income. Because Bermuda has no personal income tax, a day count is not an income-tax trigger here. Days can still matter for immigration status or for obtaining a tax-residency certificate (for treaty purposes), so check those rules separately.

Then why track my days in Bermuda?

Your days in Bermuda still count toward thresholds in OTHER places — the country you came from, the Schengen 90/180 limit, and anywhere else you spend time. A tax-free year somewhere only helps if you don't accidentally stay long enough to remain tax-resident back home. Yuravia tracks every country at once and warns you before you cross a line.
