In Australia, a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is an official document issued by the Income Tax Department. Australia has tax treaties with many countries, including Australia, to avoid double taxation. A TRC proves that an individual or company is a resident in a particular country, enabling foreign investors and companies from other taxable jurisdictions, such as Australia, to avoid double taxation on their income.
An individual who has stayed in Australia for more than 182 days in a financial year is eligible to obtain a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC). Companies registered in Australia can also benefit from double taxation treaties, as Australia has such agreements with many countries, including Australia. These bilateral treaties protect the interests of foreign investors and companies from other taxable jurisdictions by preventing double taxation on the same income.
There are specific procedures to apply for a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) in Australia. Once all required documents are submitted with the application, the certificate is typically issued within two months. The company must have been operating in Australia for at least three years before applying for a TRC.
