TAX RESIDENCY CERTIFICATION

Tax Residency Certification (TRC) is an essential paperwork for businesses and individuals in the UAE, enabling them to take advantage of the UAE's double taxation avoidance agreements (DTAAs) with other nations. The certificate confirms that the person or organization is considered a tax resident of the UAE and qualifies for tax benefits outlined in the agreements. Our services for tax residency certification make the process easier, allowing you to benefit fully from the UAE's beneficial tax agreements.

People and companies who qualify can utilize the UAE's DTAA with over 76 nations by getting a Tax Residency Certificate, also called a Tax Domicile Certificate in the UAE. This certificate, issued by the Ministry of Finance, is effective for 12 months from the date it was issued.

The required documents for applying for a Tax Residency Certificate vary depending on the applicant's type.
