FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a domestic Tax Residency Certificate?+
It is an FTA certificate confirming you are tax resident in the UAE under domestic law, without reference to any double-tax treaty. It is used for local purposes — banking, government bodies and confirming your UAE tax status.
How is it different from the international TRC?+
The international TRC names a specific treaty country and is used to claim treaty benefits abroad; the domestic TRC simply proves UAE residency under local rules and needs no foreign country. Many clients only need the domestic version.
Who can apply for a domestic TRC?+
Both UAE-incorporated companies and resident individuals who meet the residency conditions in the relevant Cabinet Decision can apply. We assess your situation and confirm eligibility before submitting.
What documents are required?+
For individuals, typically a valid residence visa, Emirates ID, passport, tenancy contract and bank statements; for companies, the trade licence, establishment documents and financials. We verify the full set so the FTA does not return the application.
