Asked most often

Do I need a Tax Residency Certificate for my UAE company?

A Tax Residency Certificate is not mandatory for every company, but it is needed if you want to claim benefits under a double taxation treaty or prove tax residency to a foreign authority or bank. Whether you need one depends on where your customers, suppliers or investors are based and what they ask you to evidence.

Answers

More on tax residency certificate

The 5 questions asked next, answered plainly.

01How much does a Tax Residency Certificate cost in the UAE?

The cost depends on whether the certificate is for a company or an individual, and for domestic or international purposes, since the FTA fee structure and supporting work differ. We review your situation and provide a fixed quote before starting the application, rather than a standard published rate.

02How long does it take to get a Tax Residency Certificate?

Processing time depends on the FTA's review of the application and supporting documents, and on how quickly outstanding queries are answered. Delays are usually caused by incomplete financial records or missing proof of physical presence or economic activity in the UAE, so having documents ready in advance speeds things up.

03Who is eligible to apply for a UAE Tax Residency Certificate?

A UAE registered company can generally apply if it has been operating for at least one year and can show a real physical presence and financial activity in the country. Individuals can apply if they meet the UAE's tax residency criteria, such as days spent in the country. Eligibility is assessed case by case against FTA rules.

04What documents are needed to apply for a TRC?

Typical requirements include a trade licence, memorandum of association, audited financial statements or bank statements, a certified lease agreement, and immigration or passport records for individuals. The exact list varies depending on whether the application is for a company or an individual, and for domestic or international purposes.

05How long is a UAE Tax Residency Certificate valid for?

A Tax Residency Certificate is generally issued to cover a specific one year period, matching the financial or calendar year for which residency is being confirmed. If you need to prove residency for a later year, a fresh application and updated supporting documents are required.
