Tax residency in Djibouti
Djibouti’s domestic law does not prescribe a statutory individual tax residence test and has no day‑count threshold; personal taxation operates on a territorial/source basis rather than on worldwide residence. Individuals are taxed on Djibouti‑source income, including remuneration for work physically performed in Djibouti, business or professional income from activities carried out in Djibouti (for example through a fixed base or habitual activity), and income from immovable property located in Djibouti. Foreign‑source income that is not connected with activities carried out in Djibouti is not taxed solely by reason of an individual’s presence, domicile, or nationality. Where a double tax treaty applies, whether an individual is a resident of Djibouti is determined under the treaty’s definition and tie‑breaker criteria (such as permanent home, centre of vital interests, habitual abode, and nationality) for treaty purposes only and does not create a separate domestic residence status.
