Tax Residency Certificate for Indian Entity

About Our Service

What is a Tax Residency Certificate?  

A Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is an official document issued by the Indian Income Tax Department confirming that a person or an entity is a tax resident of India. It is required when claiming tax benefits or avoiding double taxation under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA).For Indian companies, this certificate acts as proof that they are residents of India for tax purposes and helps them receive income from foreign countries at reduced withholding tax rates.

Ebizfiling helps Indian entities apply, obtain, and renew their tax residency certificate easily, ensuring accuracy, cost-efficiency, and full compliance with tax regulations.

Why is a Tax Residency Certificate Important?  

A TRC helps businesses avoid being taxed twice on the same income under DTAA agreements. It acts as official proof of Indian tax residency, helping companies claim lower withholding tax rates abroad.

Without a TRC, businesses may face higher tax deductions on payments from foreign clients. Therefore, obtaining a valid TRC is essential for cross-border transactions.

Who Needs a Tax Residency Certificate?  

  • Indian Companies receiving income from foreign clients or overseas sources.

  • Subsidiaries or Branches of foreign entities operating in India.

  • Startups working with international clients or investors.

  • Exporters and Service Providers earning in foreign currency.

  • Businesses under DTAA that claim tax relief under double taxation treaties.
