A Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is an official document issued by the FTA confirming that a company or individual is tax resident in the UAE. It is used to claim relief under the UAE’s extensive network of double taxation agreements, helping businesses and individuals avoid paying tax twice on the same income.
To qualify, applicants must meet the FTA’s residency conditions and provide supporting evidence. The process is documentation-heavy and specific to each applicant’s circumstances. We assess eligibility and manage the application through to issuance.
Both juridical persons (companies) and natural persons (individuals) resident in the UAE can apply, provided they meet the relevant conditions — typically including a minimum period of presence or establishment in the UAE and appropriate supporting records.
With cross-border tax experience across the UAE, and wider markets, we help you obtain the certificate and apply it correctly where it matters in the foreign jurisdiction taxing your income.
