Resident taxes for US citizen

[Aruba4ever]

There computer systems are not from the 1990s...they know how often you come and how long you stay. I agree that staying over 180 days is not very cost effective.

As far as staying more than 180 days, we were told by someone from the Netherlands that they can stay 180 days, go somewhere for a day or two and come back but that is for the Dutch citizens, not US citizens. I believe for us it is 180 days per calendar year.

contact the Taxation Office in Aruba.

Aruba does change its tax laws frequently.

Following but would really like to hear from an American, who is retired and has residency here in Aruba.....one of you can help the OP and a few others that are following. Again the OP is not asking about how long he or she can stay but about taxes. TIA!

It appears that no one replied conclusively to this thread, so allow me to quote a tax lawyer, John Tchong:

If you’re not a resident, you’re not subject to income tax in Aruba, provided you do not have taxable Aruba income. The length of your stay, not exceeding 183 days, is a test to determine residency.

Hope that helps.
