How to get a tax residency certificate for a company in the UAE?

Companies which have been incorporated for a period of over one year and are effectively managed from the United Arab Emirates are eligible to obtain the tax residency certificate. In order for the tax residency certificate to be issued, the company must, with some exceptions, provide:

• A copy of Articles of Association;
• A copy of the trade license;
• A copy of the passports of the owners, partners and/or directors of the company and their residence permits;
• A copy of audited financial reports;
• A bank statement from the local bank (most recent 6 months of activities should be visible);
• A copy of the lease agreement for premises of the company in the UAE;
• In specific cases – some other documents.
