What Is Tax Domicile and Does It Automatically Change If You Move From Country to Country?
|

This does not necessarily equate to your country of birth, nor to the country in which you happen to be living at present. Thus if you move to Spain from the UK you will not automatically obtain a Spanish domicile as you many not intend for this to be permanent and may well retain your original domicile. Domicile should not be confused with residence, which is a far more transitory concept.
