DayCount EUSpain 183-day day counter
Count your days in Spain for the calendar year and see a second "risk count" that adds short trips abroad back in, as Spanish rules can. An indicator, not tax advice.

The rule
Spain's tax authority says you are habitually resident in Spain for personal income tax if you stay more than 183 days in Spanish territory during the calendar year. Sporadic absences are counted as days in Spain unless you can prove tax residence in another country. A separate test asks whether your main centre of economic activities or interests is in Spain. Read the full explanation and the official manual.
Two numbers
- Physical days: days you were in Spain for any part of the day.
- Risk count: physical days plus the days of short absences between two stays in Spain, up to the length you set (30 days by default), except days covered by a period where you can prove tax residence elsewhere.
The risk count is cautious. It is not a ruling, and your real position depends on your evidence and circumstances.
Not the same clock as Schengen
Your Schengen 90/180 days and your Spanish tax days are counted differently. Check both: Schengen calculator.
Frequently asked questions
Is 183 days exactly enough to be resident?
The test is more than 183 days, so exactly 183 is not over it. Other tests can still apply.
What is a sporadic absence?
A short period abroad that Spanish rules treat as time in Spain unless you prove tax residence in another country. See our guide.
Is this tax advice?
No. It is an indicator. Talk to a qualified adviser about your situation.
