No, you cannot. Where you pay tax depends on a couple of items. First of all, you must determine which country you are a tax resident. When you work in the country of which you are a tax resident, you are taxed in that country. When you work outside of the country where you are a tax resident, you are – generally speaking – taxable in the country where you work. In a tax treaty, this general rule is overruled by the so-called 183-day rule. It is a set of conditions that need to be met to avoid host country taxation. The details of these conditions may somewhat differ from one tax treaty to another. But as a general rule of thumb, you cannot simply choose where you pay tax.
Can I choose in which country I pay tax?
