    Benefits of Tax Residency Certificate (TRC)

    The Tax Residency Certificate or Tax Domicile Certificate, issued by a Statutory Authority, is a universally accepted document that confirms an entity’s residency in a specific country. Tax authorities worldwide recognize it as credible proof of residency, offering numerous advantages, such as:

    • Double Taxation Avoidance: The primary purpose of a TRC is to prevent double taxation. It allows residents of the UAE to claim benefits under DTAs signed with numerous countries, reducing or eliminating taxes paid on the same income in both the UAE and the foreign country. TRC holders can benefit from reduced or exempted withholding tax rates on dividends, interest, royalties, and other income types, as specified in DTAs.
    • Tax Efficiency: TRCs can lead to more tax-efficient structures for businesses and individuals, helping them optimize their financial affairs and increase savings.
    • Enhanced Credibility: A TRC can enhance a business's credibility and reputation, as it demonstrates tax compliance and transparency.
    • International Expansion: For businesses, having a TRC can facilitate international expansion by reducing tax burdens in foreign markets.

    Validity of Tax Residency Certificate in the UAE

    The validity of the Tax Residency Certificate or Tax Domicile Certificate is one year from the date of issue. Corporates and individuals can use the Tax Residency Certificate or Tax Domicile Certificate for one specific country at a time. Applications for multiple certificates, if required, can also be made.

    It’s worth noting that tax residency certificates are not accessible to offshore companies; instead, they should seek a tax exemption certificate.
