What is a Tax Residency Certificate?

Tax Domicile Certificate is a document demonstrating that you pay income taxes to a particular country and grants you the right to take advantage of double taxation avoidance agreements with that country. For example, in the United Arab Emirates, Tax Residency Certificates are issued by the Ministry of Finance for one year.

How to get a Tax Residency Certificate?

The TRC is available to individuals who have lived in the United Arab Emirates for at least half a year. Getting residency in the UAE can be accomplished in several ways, and AMCA can assist you with that process.
