Tax Residency

Definition

Tax Residency refers to the status of an individual or business that determines which country’s tax laws apply to their income. In the UAE, tax residency is granted if certain conditions are met.


Key points


  • Individuals: 183 days in the UAE, or 90 days with residency + permanent home.
  • Companies: incorporation in UAE or management/control from the UAE.
  • Confirmed through a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC).
  • Used to claim benefits under UAE’s double tax treaties.


Practical example

An expat who spends more than 183 days in Dubai and holds a UAE residence visa qualifies as a UAE tax resident and can apply for a TRC.


Why it matters

Tax residency status determines tax liability and treaty benefits, making it crucial for international businesses and residents.
