In line with the Cabinet Decision No. 65 of 2020 on Fees for Services provided by the Federal Tax Authority issued in October 2020. The Federal Tax Authority (FTA), and in coordination with the Ministry of Finance (MOF) started receiving applications for the issuance of tax certificates via its website as of 14th November 2020.
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.
We would urge you to review our Tax Certificates Service User Guide on the Federal Tax Authority’s website through the following link:

If you do not hold a trade license, usually a certificate of incorporation is obtained for the business within the UAE.

In EmaraTax, the registration certificates can be found in the "My Correspondences" section of your Taxable Person account.  All your registration certificates that were available in your eServices account have been migrated to your EmaraTax account.
 
Note that if your tax registration certificate was not available as a pdf document in your dashboard in the old system, then you will not be able to find it in your EmaraTax dashboard. Therefore, in order for you to receive an updated registration certificate, you will have to submit a registration amendment application through EmaraTax with your updated information (example: trade license, Emirates ID, Contact details, etc) to the FTA. Once the application is approved by the FTA, your registration certificate will be issued.

If you have been allocated a “Provisional TRN” and this has been communicated to you by email, you will receive the Tax Registration Certificate after the FTA has fully reviewed your application.
