There are two categories of tax certificates which will be issued to Legal and Natural Persons:
• Tax Residency Certificate: a certificate issued by the FTA upon request to enable applicants to benefit from Double Tax
Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) on income signed by the UAE.
• Commercial Activities Certificate: a certificate issued by the FTA to enable applicants to refund VAT paid outside the UAE, whether or not DTAAs are applicable. The new service provides advantages and ease for the issuance of certificates to those registered in the tax system, as all their data is available in the FTA database so they can apply for Tax Certificates through direct and quick digital procedures.
