About UAE Tax Residency
The UAE Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is an official document issued by the Ministry of Finance confirming an individual’s or company’s status as a UAE tax resident. It is required to access the benefits of the UAE’s extensive network of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAs) and to demonstrate non-residency in a prior jurisdiction.
Prism 7 Corporate assesses your eligibility under UAE tax residency rules, prepares your TRC application, and manages submission to the Ministry of Finance — along with general guidance on the wider implications of establishing UAE tax residency.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
UAE Tax Residency — Common Questions
A UAE Tax Residency Certificate (TRC), also called a Tax Domicile Certificate, is an official document issued by the UAE Ministry of Finance confirming that the holder is a tax resident of the UAE. It is primarily used to access the benefits of the UAE's Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements with over 130 countries — allowing UAE residents to claim relief from withholding taxes or other tax obligations in those treaty partner countries.
Under UAE Cabinet Decision No. 85 of 2022, an individual is a UAE tax resident if they have a permanent home in the UAE, spend 183 days or more in the UAE in a 12-month period, or spend 90 days or more in the UAE in a 12-month period and have a financial centre or a place of work in the UAE. Companies incorporated in the UAE are generally UAE tax resident unless they are managed and controlled from outside the UAE.
Applications are submitted through the UAE Ministry of Finance portal. For individuals, required documents typically include a valid UAE residency visa, Emirates ID, tenancy agreement or proof of permanent accommodation, bank statements demonstrating financial activity in the UAE, and entry/exit records confirming physical presence. For companies, corporate registration documents and financial records are required. We prepare and submit complete TRC applications on behalf of clients.
Not necessarily. A UAE residency visa establishes legal residency status but tax residency is determined separately based on the criteria set out in UAE law and, where relevant, the tax residency provisions of the applicable double taxation treaty with your home country. Many clients hold UAE residency visas but their primary tax residency remains in their home country — this requires careful assessment.
Yes. UAE-incorporated companies can apply for a TRC to confirm their UAE tax residency status for the purposes of claiming treaty benefits in other jurisdictions. This is particularly relevant for companies making or receiving cross-border payments subject to withholding tax. The company must demonstrate that its management and control functions are exercised from within the UAE.
