A Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is an official document issued by the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) confirming your tax residency status. It allows businesses and individuals to benefit from the UAE’s Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs), helping prevent double taxation on income earned abroad.
Both UAE-registered businesses and individuals can apply for a TRC if they meet the eligibility criteria:
Businesses: Must have a valid trade license and be actively operating in the UAE.
Individuals: Must have resided in the UAE for at least 183 days within a 12-month period.
A TRC enables your business to access benefits under the UAE’s DTAs, helping you avoid paying taxes on the same income in multiple countries. This significantly reduces your global tax liability and improves your overall financial efficiency.
For businesses:
Valid trade license
Audited financial statements
Office lease agreement and utility bills
Proof of active UAE operations
For individuals:
Valid UAE residency visa and passport
Emirates ID
Proof of physical presence in the UAE (e.g., entry/exit report)

Typically, the issuance of a TRC takes 2 to 4 weeks from the date of submitting a complete application, depending on the FTA’s review process and the completeness of the documents provided.
