Tax Residency Advisory

Navigating Tax Residency and Double Tax Avoidance:

Tax residency is a key factor in determining how taxes are computed according to a country's tax laws. In the context of international cross-border transactions, tax residency becomes particularly important for the lawful avoidance of double taxation between two countries, facilitated by Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) treaties. Multinational businesses operating across different tax jurisdictions can benefit from the applicable DTAAs established by GCC countries.

Establishing tax residency requires a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC), an official document issued by the tax authority of a country to entities and individuals who meet the residency criteria specified in the country's domestic income tax laws. The TRC, also known as a Tax Domicile Certificate in some countries like the UAE, is essential for claiming tax benefits, such as lower or no taxation, as outlined in the relevant DTAA.

Understanding the complexities of DTAA tax treaty provisions is crucial for individuals and companies alike when it comes to tax residency. At A V Savla, our team of tax experts specializing in the UAE, KSA, and GCC can provide comprehensive guidance on DTAAs and TRC. Our services include:
