Obtaining a Certificate of Tax Residence (TRC - Tax Residency Certificate) for a company

What do we offer?

We offer our assistance in obtaining a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC). It is also sometimes referred to as a Tax Domicile Certificate (TDC).

This document may be required by a foreign tax authority for the application of the tax treaty signed with the United Arab Emirates (for example, to justify a reduced withholding tax rate on dividends/royalties/interest received).

It is now issued by the Federal Tax Administration of the United Arab Emirates.

The documents required to obtain it are as follows:
