Pre-Daysium days are crucial for tax residency compliance, and getting started with Daysium. This article explains what we mean by Pre-Daysium days are and why they are essential for your initial setup.

What are Pre-Daysium Days?

Pre-Daysium days account for the period between the start of the tax year and when you first activate location permissions in the Daysium app, marking the beginning of data capture. These are the days you spent in various jurisdictions before using Daysium, crucial for the first tax year only.

Why are Pre-Daysium Days Important?

These days ensure that your tax residency count is accurate from the very start of the tax year, maintaining compliance with local tax laws. They help bridge the gap between your actual travel history and when you begin using Daysium to log your movements.

‼️ Until you establish pre-Daysium days, your day count for that tax year won't display accurately. Enter the days as soon as possible.

⚠️The same applies for Schengen Visa although, rather than relating to a tax year, it relates to the period of the last 180 days.

First-Year Implications:

For the first tax year of using Daysium, documenting these days is essential to establish a complete and accurate count of your tax residency. For subsequent years, your days are automatically logged by Daysium.

Setting up Pre-Daysium days correctly is foundational for using Daysium effectively from the beginning, ensuring that all days are accounted for from day one.

💡While it's possible to establish the Pre-Daysium Days at any point, we recommend setting them up as soon as possible. Contact our Customer Support if you need help.
