Tax Residency Certificate Dubai, UAE

Get Tax Residency Certificate UAE

 

For Indian individuals and companies in the UAE, a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) also known as a tax domicile certificate is a vital document, and Flying Colour Tax provides expert assistance in obtaining it. This certificate is issued by the UAE authorities to help foreign investors and residents, including those from India, avoid double taxation by leveraging the tax treaties signed by the UAE. An Indian-owned company, whether on the mainland or in a free zone, can apply for a TRC after it has been operational for at least one year. Similarly, Indian expatriates who have resided in the UAE for a minimum of 183 days can also apply for this certificate, which is typically valid for one year from its date of issue. The UAE has Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs) with numerous nations, including India, making the TRC an extremely advantageous tool for easing the global tax burden on your business and personal income.

Benefits of a UAE Tax Domicile Certificate for Indian Businesses

  • Facilitates Global Trade – A TRC helps Indian businesses expand their operations in the Middle East and beyond by simplifying cross-border financial transactions.

  • Prevents Double Taxation – This certificate is essential for claiming benefits under the India-UAE Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), ensuring you avoid paying tax twice on the same income.

  • Provides Official Legal Proof – The certificate serves as an internationally recognized legal document, formally establishing the tax residency of your UAE business entity.

  • Strengthens Economic Relations – Possessing a TRC encourages stronger bilateral business ties between the UAE and India, enhancing your company's credibility.

  • Access to Tax Advantages – The certificate is key to unlocking the full benefits of the UAE's favorable tax environment, including its 0% personal income tax and competitive corporate tax rates.
