在中国境内有住所,或者无住所而在一个纳税年度内在中国境内居住累计满一百八十三天的个人应认定为中国税收居民。在中国境内无住所又不居住,或者无住所而一个纳税年度内在中国境内居住累计不满一百八十三天的个人,为非居民个人。纳税年度,自公历一月一日起至十二月三十一日止。在中国境内有住所是指因户籍、家庭、经济利益关系而在中国境内习惯性居住。所谓习惯性居住,是判定纳税义务人是居民或非居民的一个法律意义上的标准,不是指实际居住或在某一个特定时期内的居住地。如因学习、工作、探亲、旅游等而在中国境外居住的,在其原因消除之后,必须回到中国境内居住的个人,则中国即为该纳税人习惯性居住地。

实体的纳税人识别号即统一社会信用代码。该代码通常显示在实体的登记证照上。比如企业的营业执照上包含统一社会信用代码。如果没有取得统一社会信用代码,纳税人识别号由税务机关根据有关编码规则发放。“三证合一”前,纳税人识别号为税务登记证上的15位数字代码。
个人纳税人识别号根据其有效身份证明确定。以中国居民身份证为有效身份证明的个人,其纳税人识别号为其居民身份证号码。以护照或其他证据为有效身份证明的个人,其纳税人识别号由税务机关根据有关编码规则发放。
相关法律法规:

是否自动为所有税收居民发放纳税人识别号:
个人:对于以中国居民身份证为有效身份证明的个人,
自动发放,因为纳税人识别号即是其居民身份证号码。对于以护照等其他证件为有效身份证明的个人,不是自动发放,其纳税人识别号于第一次纳税申报或者产生纳税义务之后发放。
实体:否。实体需要办理税务登记或者工商登记之后取得纳税人识别号。
不同类别的纳税人,纳税人识别号有所不同。
对于企业,旧的纳税人识别号由15位组成,新的纳税人识别号(统一社会信用代码)由18位组成。
对于个人,纳税人识别号根据其有效身份证明确定。以中国居民身份证为有效身份证明的个人,其纳税人识别号为其居民身份证号码。以护照或其他证件为有效身份证明的个人,其纳税人识别号由税务机关根据以下编码规则发放。个别地区曾用护照号作为外籍个人的纳税人识别号。
