How to Get a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) in UAE Online

A Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is your golden ticket to avoiding double taxation. It proves you are a resident of the UAE for tax purposes.

Requirements (For Individuals)

1. Passport & Visa: Valid residency for at least 180 days.
2. Tenancy Contract: Ejari or Title Deed.
3. Bank Statements: 6 months of statements stamped by the bank.
4. Source of Income: Salary certificate or trade license.

The Process

1. Log in to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) portal.
2. Create an account.
3. Fill the form and attach PDFs.
4. Pay the fee (approx AED 2,000).

Why You Need It

Without a TRC, foreign tax authorities (like the IRS or HMRC) may claim you still owe them taxes on your Dubai income.
