UAE Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) Services
End-to-end administrative support to establish your UAE tax residency and access double tax treaty benefits.
What is a Tax Residency Certificate?
The UAE Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is an official document issued by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). It confirms that an individual or a company is a tax resident of the UAE for a specified financial year.
This certificate is crucial for leveraging the UAE’s extensive network of Double Tax Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs), helping you prevent paying taxes on the same income in two different countries.
