Tax Residency Certificate in UAE

The UAE Ministry of Finance is the government authority responsible for issuing official documents, such as the Tax Residency Certificate (TRC). This certificate is crucial for individuals residing in the UAE and for businesses operating in the region.

What Is Tax Residency Certificate in UAE ?

The Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is an official document issued by the UAE Ministry of Finance to eligible individuals, businesses, and government entities. It serves as proof of tax residency in the UAE, allowing holders to benefit from double taxation avoidance agreements. These agreements help prevent individuals and companies from being taxed twice on the same income by different countries.

The TRC is particularly useful for those conducting international business or residing in the UAE, as it facilitates more favorable tax treatment in jurisdictions with which the UAE has signed such agreements.
