Look. Internet discussions aside. The tangible, real-world problem you will face when living in EU15 nations︅ without being known as a tax resident in that, or any country, is this:
1. Communal registers in all EU15 nations perform door-to-door checks to see how many people, and︆ sometimes who, are/is living on an address. You can slip through the net for a︇ few months or a few years, but sooner or later someone from the register will︈ knock on the door. Or your neighbors rat you out. Or you yourself call the︉ cops/fire service/the ambulance because you need their help, and they subsequently report the # and︊ IDs of the people living on that address to the commune. It is extremely hard︋ to live on an address in EU15, without the commune's knowledge.
2. The commune will︌ at some point cross-reference the fact that somebody is paying water, gas and electricity bills︍ on that address, but is simultaneously neither registered as employed nor registered as being on︎ benefits. This is one of the most standard, in some cases periodic, cross-references carried️ out by EU15 communes after a person is registered on an address.
3. When there is a match where someone is spending money to live somewhere, but is not registered as earning money either in that country or elsewhere, the commune forwards this mismatch to the tax authority who will then begin to put 1 or 2 public or private investigators on the case in order to find out where this person's money to pay their cost of living comes from.
These investigators will go through your mail. They will take photos of you entering and exiting the address. They will inventory the value of︀ your clothes, the costs related to your children's schooling, note the presence of a wife︁ or girlfriend and keep track of your other mobile and immobile assets.
And then they︂ fucking murder you. With an estimated tax bill based on your calculated Yearly Consumption Spend,︃ plus 500%. Payable within 30 days. Or face a court summons.
The whole point of︄ that checkmate move is to shake you out of your address and into their office,︅ where you will hopefully come clean and pay a fine much lower than the issued︆ tax bill on the condition that you will not be caught like that a second︇ time.
The whole thing will eat years of your life away and is not worth︈ it. Don't play with EU15 nations if you don't want to pay taxes. Live elsewhere.︉ There is plenty choice. Staying in EU15 is a death sentence.
