Reference Should the reference have been provided right off the start, no answer should have been needed.

Because תושב חוזר ותיק is an official term with a specific definition.

See for example,
http://hmercaz.global/תושב-חוזר-ותיק-מס-הכנסה

Quote:
להלן הגדרה תושב חוזר ותיק לעניין מס הכנסה:
"תושב חוזר ותיק" - הינו יחיד אשר שב להיות "תושב ישראל" לאחר שהיה תושב חוץ במשך תקופה של עשר שנים רצופות לפחות.

@Shalom "More than ten years consecutively" was suggested by Harold as a possible explanation in brackets, not as context or fact. Also, how can anyone be certain that "ותיק" does not refer to age?

Shalom Bresticker Jul 12, 2021:

As has been stated already, ותיק in this context means that he/she has been away from Israel more than 10 years consequtively. I don't have a good brief translation for it at the moment, but it certainly does not indicate age, but rather a long time away from the country.

Harold Lemel Jul 12, 2021:

I don't think there would be any specific term for a specific period away. If it's important maybe explain in brackets like...


former (I. e. abroad for at least 10 years).. Or maybe a footnote..
