## What happens at day 183

How Peru decides tax residence and treats foreign-source income, from its tax records.

- **Tax residence:** - **More than 183 days in any 12-month period** Residence or stay in Peru of more than 183 calendar days makes a foreign individual domiciled (art. 7 b).
- **More than 183 days in any period of 12 months** Residence or stay in Peru by a foreign natural person makes the person domiciled (art. 7 lit. b)
- **Foreign-source income:** A foreigner who has lived or stayed in Peru for more than 183 calendar days in any 12-month period is domiciled and taxed on worldwide income; until then the foreigner is non-domiciled and pays income tax only on Peruvian-source income, at a flat 30% on employment income (Article 54), without the 7 UIT deduction or the progressive scale.
