Do I have to pay taxes in Ecuador as a foreign resident?

This Ecuador tax answer covers whether a foreign resident may have to pay taxes in Ecuador. Tax residence and filing obligations can depend on days present, immigration status, source and type of income, domicile, treaty rules, and current domestic law. A 183-day reference or permanent-residency status should not be treated as the complete test for every person or tax year. US citizens may retain US filing obligations even while abroad.
