A Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is required to claim benefits under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA). It proves your residency status for tax purposes.
Why Get a TRC?
A Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is a crucial document issued by a country’s tax authorities to certify an individual’s or entity’s status as a tax resident in that jurisdiction. Obtaining a TRC is primarily essential for individuals and businesses with international income sources to access benefits under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs).

Frequently Asked Questions
A TRC certifies your tax residency in a country and is essential if you want to claim the benefits of a DTAA (such as reduced tax rate or avoiding double taxation) for income earned across borders
If you are a non-resident earning income in India (or Indian resident earning abroad) and you wish to avail treaty benefits, you must furnish a valid TRC from the country of residence along with Form 10F (if required) to substantiate your claim.
In India, a resident assessee applies in Form 10FA and the certificate is issued in Form 10FB under Rule 21AB(1)-(2A) of the Income-tax Rules.
Without a valid TRC, you may lose the benefit of treaty-based tax rates and your income may be taxed at higher domestic rates.
A TRC is typically valid for the financial year or whatever period specified in the certificate. If you continue to derive income across jurisdictions, renewal or fresh application may be needed.
