Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) in the UAE
A Tax Residency Certificate (TRC), also known as a Tax Domicile Certificate, is an official document issued by the UAE's Federal Tax Authority (FTA) that confirms an individual or company is a tax resident of the UAE, allowing them to claim benefits under the UAE's Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs) with over 130 countries. ISZ Global prepares and submits TRC applications on behalf of individuals and companies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
The TRC is issued by the FTA and is the UAE's formal proof of tax residency β used by individuals and businesses to avoid being taxed twice on the same income in both the UAE and their home country. It's commonly requested by foreign tax authorities, banks, and international business partners as evidence of UAE tax residency status.
Our TRC Application Service Includes
- Eligibility assessment against FTA residency criteria (individual or corporate)
- Preparation of the full FTA document set (passport, Emirates ID, tenancy contract, bank statements, immigration report, salary certificate or financial statements as applicable)
- Submission and tracking via the FTA's EmaraTax portal
- Liaison with the FTA on any clarification requests
- Certified TRC delivery, valid for one year from the date of issue
Who Needs a TRC?
- Individuals who have lived in the UAE for 183+ days (or meet the UAE's revised residency criteria) and want to claim tax relief abroad
- UAE-registered companies that need to prove tax residency to a foreign tax authority or counterparty
- Investors and business owners with cross-border income who want to benefit from a DTAA between the UAE and their country of citizenship or business operations
