    USE CASE · DIGITAL NOMAD TAX

    Digital nomad taxes, without the surprises.

    A nomad lifestyle is a multi-jurisdiction lifestyle. Schengen 90/180, accidental tax residency, US foreign earned income exclusion, employer permanent-establishment risk. Heed tracks all of it from one dashboard.

    The problem
    01

    Most nomads don't realise they have triggered tax residency until a tax authority writes to them.

    02

    The Schengen 90/180 rule, US substantial presence, and Thai 180-day rule all run on different clocks. Tracking them in your head is a losing game.

    03

    Nomad visas (Portugal, Spain, Estonia, Barbados) come with tax conditions most blog posts gloss over.

    How Heed solves it

    Three tools, one decision layer.

    FAQ

    Common questions.

    Will I become tax resident if I stay 3 months?

    In most cases no, but it depends on the country. Thailand triggers at 180 days, the UK uses a Statutory Residence Test with ties, and the US uses a 3-year weighted formula. Heed tracks the actual rule for each jurisdiction you visit.

    Does the Schengen 90/180 rule affect tax?

    Schengen is an immigration rule, not a tax rule. But spending 90 days in any single Schengen country can still trigger tax residency in that country. Heed separates the two so you don't conflate them.

    What about US citizens nomading abroad?

    US citizens are taxed on worldwide income regardless of where they live. We track the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, FEIE physical-presence test (330 days), and the Foreign Tax Credit interaction with each host country.

    Can I monitor multiple jurisdictions at once?

    Yes. Every plan covers all the jurisdictions we track, so you can monitor any combination at once. Signal, the entry plan, gives you the Change Feed, alerts and Residency Tracker across all of them; Pro adds the deeper tools like the Scenario Planner and Position Optimiser.
