A tax residency certificate is a specific document that indicates the taxpayer's residency. A government issues such a certificate to prevent tax fraud resulting from the incorrect application of the provisions of international treaties on the avoidance of double taxation. You can use a TRC to show that you deserve to benefit from the application of double tax treaties, and to comply with local tax regulations.
Requirements for a tax residency certificate:
- Is a government-issued document created for the purpose of validating tax residency.
- If the TRC indicates a country related to a tax treaty, the treaty must pertain to the country.
Please note: you may be asked to provide an English translation of your tax residency certificate.
