He's not trying to engineer loopholes. He's trying to comply precisely. You are right that there are some genuinely squishy things, but not all of them are. Tax residency is not a judgement call. Overstaying visas or visa waivers is not a judgement call. Residency requirements for immigration applications. etc | ||

> He's trying to comply precisely. Which is entirely what the laws are trying to stop you doing. Governments don't want you to be 'just inside', they want you to be well inside. The number is, for example 159 days in a tax year not because they are happy if you're there 160 days but because they had to draw a line somewhere because text is necessarily precise. | ||
