What is TaxDin?
TaxDin is a web app (currently free) that counts your tax-residency days. You log which country you were in at each midnight, and it applies each country's residency rules automatically — the full UK Statutory Residence Test, India's Section 6 tests (including deemed residency and RNOR status), and Singapore's 183-day rule — for you and your spouse or partner.
How are days counted for the UK Statutory Residence Test?
Under the UK Statutory Residence Test, a day normally counts as a UK day if you are in the UK at midnight. Your UK day count per tax year (6 April to 5 April) is one key input in the Statutory Residence Test, alongside ties such as work, family and accommodation. TaxDin counts your UK midnights per tax year and also computes the sufficient-ties inputs, including work, 90-day, family, accommodation and country ties.
How many days make you a tax resident in India or Singapore?
India applies day-count tests per financial year (1 April to 31 March): a 182-day test, plus a 60-day test combined with 365+ days over the previous four years — with relaxed thresholds for citizens and PIOs living abroad and deemed-residency rules for some high-income citizens. TaxDin's India Residency card works through all of these tests, including RNOR status. For Singapore, days of presence per calendar year are the main input, with 183 days a commonly used threshold. Day counts alone don't settle residence — other factors and tests can apply, so confirm your position with a qualified adviser.
Can I import my existing travel spreadsheet?
Yes. TaxDin imports day-by-day location history from Excel files and Google Sheets, understands several common layouts across multiple tabs, and normalizes country names automatically. You can also back your data up to your own Google Sheet and export Excel or CSV files for your accountant.
Can I track my spouse or family members too?
Yes. A family in TaxDin can track two people and compare them side by side. You can invite your spouse or partner by email, or import their history before they ever sign up. You can also invite an assistant or accountant with admin access — they can view and manage your family's data without taking a tracked slot. Your data stays private to your family.
Is TaxDin free, and is it tax advice?
TaxDin is currently free to use and takes under a minute to set up. It is a day-counting aid, not tax advice — always confirm your residency position with a qualified adviser.
