> resident for tax purposes

Resident just means that country taxes your worldwide income.

Even if non tax resident they have a claim to income earned in that country, which arguably includes remote work while you live there.

Depending on local laws, not legal or tax advice etc

It gets even more complicated when treaties are involved because they’ll supercede the law, have a lot less jurisprudence and are often unreadable gobblygook.

You end up with rules like (paraphrasing):

“If a member of a contracting state contracts in the other contracting state, they will only pay taxes in their other contracting state”
