Tax Residency Certificate UAE
Tax residency certificate UAE
International trade relations are at an all-time high. Businesses operate globally to increase their customer base and improve profits. Such global operations enable the countries’ economic development and increase market competition. But the biggest issue is that of taxation of such operations.
Some of these transactions get double taxed, once in their own country and the second time in the guest country. Having a tax residency certificate is a solution to this problem. Once you prove you are a tax resident in a country, you need not pay taxes in another country. The UAE tax residency certificate or tax domicile certificate proves that you are a resident of the UAE.
This certificate prevents you from paying double taxes on the income earned in other countries. It lets you take advantage of double taxation avoidance agreements with other countries. If you are from a country with no double taxation agreement with UAE, you can get this certificate to avoid double taxes, provided you meet the eligibility conditions. You can also use it as an identity proof in the country.
