Unlock Global Tax Benefits with an Official UAE Tax Residency Certificate
A Tax Residency Certificate (TRC)—also known as a Tax Domicile Certificate—is an official document issued by the UAE Ministry of Finance. It certifies that your company or personal income is legally resident in the UAE for tax purposes.
This certificate is essential if your country has a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with the UAE, allowing you to avoid being taxed twice—once in the UAE and again in your home country.
We help both individuals and companies obtain a Tax Residency Certificate by preparing the required documentation and handling all interactions with the Ministry of Finance on your behalf.
Why Apply for a TRC?
