Tax Residency Certificate
In the UAE, a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is a document issued by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) to individuals or entities to confirm their tax residency status in the UAE. It is often required by residents or businesses to benefit from provisions under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) that the UAE has with other countries, ensuring reduced withholding tax rates on income such as dividends, royalties, and interest earned abroad.
To obtain a TRC in the UAE, individuals or businesses must meet specific criteria, including:
For Individuals: A valid UAE residence visa and evidence of physical presence in the country for at least 183 days within a 12-month period.
For Companies: Proof of business activity and the company being incorporated and operated in the UAE.
The application process requires submitting documents such as a valid passport, Emirates ID, proof of residency, and other relevant business records for companies. The TRC helps individuals and companies avoid double taxation, allowing them to access favorable tax treatment in countries with which the UAE has DTAA agreements.
