I know a wealthy Massachusetts resident who sold a large multi million dollar business and wanted to beat the Mass taxes. He claimed to be a Florida resident. (No income taxes) Among other things, he drove leased cars in Massachusetts that one of his businesses paid for so it wouldn't come back to him. He got a Florida drivers license. He put a car at his Florida condo and gave the doorman the keys and a gas card so it would show use. He told the doorman to make sure he filled it at least once a week. He left all the lights on in the condo to run up the electric bill.
I have a neighbor in Florida who also has a home in Michigan. I was told that Michigan DOR will track you by where your cellphone is if they want to prove you owe taxes.
Canada is also tracking the number of days a Canadian spends outside the country to qualify them for government health care.
