A Tax Residency Certificate or sometimes called a (TRC) Tax Domicile Certificate is an official certificate which is issued by the Federal Tax authority of UAE to either a company inside the UAE for at least 1 year of age or an Individual with a UAE residency visa / permanently residing in the UAE for at least minimum of 180 Days. Based on this certificate, UAE tax resident can be relieved from taxes in his home country as he is considered a tax resident of the UAE.

 

The purpose of the TRC is to fully utilize the advantages of the extensive double tax treaties and to take advantage of double taxation avoidance agreements signed by the UAE with over 100 Countries in the World and this certificate is valid for one year from the date of its issue. However, note that currently for Russians, the TRC only covers Government entities.
