Our Personal Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) Application Services are meticulously crafted to ensure your application complies with the latest legal requirements, optimizing the process for efficiency and accuracy.

A TRC is essential for individuals aiming to enhance their international tax position, especially within the UAE’s favorable economic environment. This certificate officially establishes your tax residency in the UAE, which is crucial for leveraging the UAE’s Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) to potentially reduce tax liabilities in other jurisdictions.

The UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) issues TRCs based on the following criteria:

1. Domestic Law Criteria: An individual is eligible for a Domestic TRC if they have resided in the UAE for more than 90 days, fulfilling the local residency requirements.
2. DTT TRC Requirements: To qualify for a DTT TRC, the individual must have spent at least 183 days in the UAE during the relevant tax year, meeting the physical presence condition.
3. DTT Specifications: If an individual cannot meet the 183-day residency requirement but is applying for a DTT TRC, specific details of the relevant Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) must be considered. In such cases, the individual must present a substantiated case to the FTA, supported by appropriate documentation, to demonstrate their eligibility for the TRC under the DTA provisions.

Our services ensure that your TRC application adheres to all necessary criteria, facilitating a smooth and successful process, and enabling you to fully benefit from the UAE’s tax advantages.

TRC Application Process and Documentation

Our service is designed to ensure the meticulous preparation and submission of all required documentation for the TRC application, in full compliance with the Ministry’s guidelines and the latest residency regulations. We offer complete support in gathering and organizing the necessary documents, including:

• Valid passport and UAE visa copies
• Proof of physical residence in the UAE, such as housing contracts or utility bills
• Six months of UAE bank statements
• Employment certificates or proof of income within the UAE
• Any additional documentation as required by the UAE authorities to substantiate your tax residency claim

While we strive to make the TRC application process as seamless as possible, it’s important to note that these listed requirements serve as a general guide. They may not encompass all documents that the UAE authorities may request to support your application.

With the recent updates to tax residency rules, it’s essential to take a detailed and thorough approach when applying for the TRC, particularly with regard to the annual renewal process to maintain ongoing benefits and compliance. Although we provide end-to-end assistance in navigating this process, the final approval of the TRC rests with the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA). It’s crucial to comply with any further requests for documentation or additional evidence to ensure a successful application.
